US Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the officer who was the subject of President Donald Trump's ire in recent weeks, will not be investigated by the military, despite Trump's belief that the Army would "take a look at that."
Vindman, who worked as a National Security Council aide at the White House, was ousted on Friday, months after his congressional testimony in November. Vindman testified before the House Intelligence Committee about Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Vindman, who had listened in on the call, testified that Trump's suggestion for Ukraine to investigate his political rival had concerned him, prompting him to raise objections within his chain of command out of a "sense of duty."See the rest of the story at Business Insider NOW WATCH: A podiatrist explains heel spurs, the medical condition Trump said earned him a medical deferment from Vietnam See Also: SEE ALSO: 'I would trust Alex with my life': Trump's decision to boot Lt.
