REPORT: Alexander Vindman Fired, Escorted From White House; Biden Requests Standing Ovation for Vindman, Says He Deserves Rush Limbaugh’s Medal of Freedom

By Daily Wire. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman was fired from his job on the National Security Council on Friday and was escorted from the White House and his brother reportedly left with him, although it was not clear whether he was also fired.

“Vindman, the top Ukraine expert at the National Security Council, was pushed out of his role Friday months earlier than expected, according to a statement from his attorney,” CNN reported. “Vindman was not slated to leave until July, but had been telling colleagues in recent weeks he would likely leave soon. It was not his decision to leave, however, according to one person familiar with the situation.”

“We do have one remaining question which is about the future of [Alexander Vindman’s] brother, Eugene, who is an attorney for the National Security Council who we are told also walked out with Vindman today but it’s unclear if he received the same message about his services no longer being needed,” CNN’s Kaitlan Collins said on CNN’s “The Lead” with Jake Tapper.

Collins added: “I’m told Vindman walked out with his brother, who is an attorney for the NSC. It’s unclear if he was also fired but that was the expectation.”

During Vindman’s testimony it was revealed that he did not know basic facts about U.S. aid to the country and, when the subject came up at his job, he apparently was not interested in wanting to know more about Hunter Biden joining the corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma.

Biden Requests Standing Ovation for Vindman, Says He Deserves Rush Limbaugh’s Medal of Freedom

By Washington Examiner. Former Vice President Joe Biden encouraged the audience at the Democratic debate to give a standing ovation for Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman after he was removed from his position in the White House, while taking a swipe at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Vindman, who was instrumental in the impeachment investigation into President Trump, was escorted from the White House and was relieved of his duty on Friday afternoon, hours before the debate.

“By the way, Col. Vindman was thrown out of the White House today — walked out. I think … he should be pinning a medal on Vindman and not on Rush Limbaugh,” Biden said, which received applause from the audience.

“I think we should all stand and give Col. Vindman a show of how much we supported him. Stand up and clap for Vindman. Get up there!” he went on. “That’s who we are, we are not what Trump is.” (Read more from “Biden Requests Standing Ovation for Vindman, Says He Deserves Rush Limbaugh’s Medal of Freedom” HERE)
