posted on November 5, 2019The New York Times’ Sheryl Gay Stolberg profiles combat veteran Alexander Vindman, the National Security Council member who testified for the impeachment inquiry about President Trump’s phone call with Ukraine. Vindman, along with his brother Yevgeny, a fellow NSC member, immigrated to the United States as Jewish refugees fleeing Soviet Ukraine when they were three. Stolberg writes, “His heritage gave Colonel Vindman, who is fluent in both Ukrainian and Russian, unique insight into Mr. Trump’s pressure campaign.”
