Says President Donald Trump "fired Lt. Col. Vindman because he testified agaisnt (sic) him and corroborated the Whistleblowers (sic) testimony."
Publisher’s rating: False
Research from related reporting identifies the episode behind the claim: Alexander Vindman, then a member of the National Security Council, testified to Congress about President Donald Trump’s 2019 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It reports that Vindman said the call involved inappropriate political demands concerning an investigation of Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The excerpt also says Trump was acquitted and Vindman was fired afterward. That account supports the sequence of testimony, acquittal and firing, but it does not establish the claim’s stated reason for the firing. The excerpt does not say that Trump fired Vindman because of his testimony or because it corroborated the whistleblower’s testimony. The supplied reporting therefore does not resolve that causal assertion.
