BREAKING: Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, Alex Vindman's twin brother who served as a senior NSC ethics official, has filed a complaint w/DoD IG raising concerns that he was retaliated against for reporting "ethics and legal compliance violations" by NSA O'Brien intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Andrew Bakaj and Mark Zaid, who represented the whistleblower who came forward about Trump's Ukraine call, are now representing Yevgeny Vindman and confirm here that he submitted a whistleblower complaint to DoD IG.
Vindman's complaint alleges that O'Brien and NSC CoS Alex Gray "engaged in demeaning and demoralizing sexist behavior against … female NSC professionals," including that they "would inappropriately comment on women’s looks, ‘talk down’ to women and exclude women from meetings.”

Grassley and Johnson's request did not set date ranges for the responsive documents, but State Dept officials decided to cut them off at Dec 2017—a limit that would ensure any potentially damaging evidence of Trump's own actions in Ukraine were excluded. politico.com/news/2020/08/1…
The senators' request didn't include a deadline for the State Dept to respond, an ordinary feature of oversight requests. But State tasked its top officials to respond by Aug. 28, a deadline that comports with Johnson's efforts to release a final report in September.
Democratic aides said the State Department's marshaling of resources to aid Johnson and Grassley in response to a voluntary request stands in stark contrast to the department's refusal to share any documents with the House, even in response to subpoenas. politico.com/news/2020/08/1…

JUST OUT: Volume 5 of the Senate Intelligence Committee's Russia report, focused on counterintelligence threats and vulnerabilities. It's 966 pages long. intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/…

"As this experience illustrated, White House intervention significantly hampered and prolonged the Committee's investigative effort," report says. "Most importantly, some witnesses were directed by the White House not to tum over potentially privileged information..." Image

NEWS: Pelosi admonished top counterintel official Evanina during private briefing this a.m., accusing him of withholding info about Russia. Evanina ultimately acknowledged that Russia is trying to boost Trump’s reelection; Dems want him to say it publicly. politico.com/news/2020/07/3…
Asked for comment, an ODNI official said that "Unlike some, we don’t comment on the content of classified briefings," but said Evanina was “quite clear that the intel community will continue to update the American public ... on threats to the election and steps for mitigation.”
During the private briefing Evanina said he expected Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe to reveal more about the Russians' activity during the Worldwide Threats hearing, but whether that hearing will even happen is still in doubt. politico.com/news/2020/07/3…
