Army Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, an NSC lawyer specializing in ethics, may be asked to testify in the wake of his twin brother’s, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s, bombshell hearing this week.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Yevgeny Vindman witnessed the decision to move the call memo of President Donald Trump’s conversation with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to the secure server. During that conversation, Alexander Vindman also voiced his concerns to NSC lawyer John Eisenberg about the content of the call.

Eisenberg is slated to testify before the House committees on November 4.

House committees have contacted Yevgeny Vindman’s lawyer, but no decision has yet been made.

  2. Double trouble?

  3. I’m kinda fascinated by these two very impressive men. From all the coverage of them I’ve consumed, THEY are such an American success story. I hope one of the results of what may become known in our history as the very dark years is that two immigrants who fled the country that tried to take our democracy away where responsible for helping to remove the asset placed in power by that same country.

  4. Thanks to courageous government officials. It is important for the American public to hear and know the truth.

    Just an aside…Thugs-R-Us had been whining and defending the Orange Impeachiness for lack of due process and transparency for 36+ days, but when they were asked to vote for impeachment process yesterday…guess what - except for Amash, all of them voted NO to the due process they were complaining about!

    BIGLY HYPOCRITES!
    BIGLY Criminal Enablers!
    BIGLY UnAmerican!

  5. I’m old enough to remember when Republicans would have celebrated twin brothers whose family emigrated from the Soviet Union to escape religious persecution, and both of them ended up as honorably serving military officers. Real American heroes.
