Trump sacks key Impeachment witness from White House
Revenge is a dish best served cold, Lt. Col Alexander Vindman who served as a key witness in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald J. Trump has been ousted from his role on the National Security Council (NSC).
Vindman was escorted out of the White House on Friday, his lawyer said.
His role in the impeachment trial which came to an end on Wednesday after the Senate acquitted Trump on the two articles of impeachment was said to have infuriated the United States President.
“Today, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman was escorted out of the White House where he has dutifully served his country and his President. He does so having spoken publicly once, and only pursuant to a subpoena from the United States Congress,” Ambassador David Pressman, Vindman’s attorney, said in a statement.
When contacted by Insider about Vindman’s apparent departure, NSC spokesperson John Ullyot said, “We do not comment on personnel matters.”
It is also expected that there will be a major shakeup of staff at the White House as the president looks for greater loyalty after his acquittal.

Hi, I'm Jadesola and if you've been here a while, you'll know that Ekomiami has always existed without a face. That changes now. I founded this platform in Lagos in 2018, originally as a space for entertainment and celebrity news. Over time and across continents my world grew bigger and so did my curiosity. Today, Ekomiami is what it was always quietly becoming: a home for travel, food, arts, and culture, told through the eyes of someone navigating the world from a very particular vantage point. With a background in content and media production. I write and create about the places I go, the food I find, and the experiences that make travel feel like more than a holiday. You'll find me in Bordeaux wine bars, on Albanian coastlines, in English market towns, and at restaurant tables taking notes between courses. The name "Ekomiami", "Lagos to Miami" has always been about movement, ambition, and showing up somewhere new. Seven years in, I'm stepping out from behind it. Welcome to the journey, properly.
