NEW: Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, director for European Affairs at NSC, insisted on going to work today, a day after he testified that he twice went to NSC’s top lawyer about his concerns about Trump & others wrongly pressuring Ukraine to investigate Bidens, a source familiar says
Source tells me Lt. Col. Vindman is willing to testify publicly to explain his concerns about Trump-Zelensky call & demands to have Ukraine investigate Bidens. Source also says Vindman is on detail to WH from Army. His family has been assured by Army that Army has his back.
Source also says Lt. Col. Vindman took a lot of notes while on the Trump-Zelensky call. He has detailed notes that are now in a classified NSC system that holds other documents that are part of documents the WH is refusing to provide to Congress as part of impeachment inquiry.
John Eisenberg, the NSC lawyer that Vindman went to with his concerns twice, took detailed notes when Vindman came to him with Vindman's concerns, I'm told by a source familiar. Eisenberg took in the information in a neutral way. The big question now, what did Eisenberg do next?
NEW: Rep. Liz Cheney spoke w/ Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman's wife yesterday on the phone. Vindman's wife called Cheney's office to thank her for praising Vindman's service as an Army veteran & for saying his patriotism shouldn't be attacked. Cheney called back & reiterated that.
