• Col. Alexander Vindman, a top White House National Security Council aide, testified last week that the White House left out key phrases from its memo of President Donald Trump's Ukraine call.
• Trump claimed that Vindman is a "Never Trumper," referring to a Republican movement that tried to stop Trump from becoming president in 2016.
• There is no evidence to suggest this. When asked about it on Sunday, Trump said he would release evidence "real soon."
• Vindman is a particularly damaging witness in Trump's impeachment inquiry because of his firsthand knowledge of the call.
