Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman is sharing his thoughts about President Donald Trump.
Vindman, a key impeachment witness and formerly the National Security Council’s top Ukraine expert, was asked during an NBC News interview with Lester Holt that aired Monday if he is a “never-Trumper.”
In response, Vindman said he served the administration “with the hopes of being able to advance U.S. national security interests,” but things have changed.
“I can say now that I am a Never-Trumper,” he said.
He continued to say that he “was not a never-Trumper before, I was nonpartisan.”
Vindman also claimed that Trump is “catering to our adversaries”:
“Regardless of what administration, I would just try to do the best I could to advance national security interests, but I think as the president’s attacked and politicized me directly, in taking a very sober view of where this president has taken this country, the divisions, the catering to our adversaries, the undermining of our national security interests, that I am absolutely a Never-Trumper.”
Vindman served as the National Security Council’s top Ukraine expert until February.
