Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, Key Impeachment Witness, Retires From The Military Alleging Bullying From President Trump

USA Today: Alexander Vindman retires from Army citing 'bullying' from Trump for impeachment testimony

WASHINGTON – The Army officer who testified in President Donald Trump's impeachment inquiry announced Wednesday he will resign from the military, citing intimidation from the White House.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman had seen his promotion to colonel delayed this summer,a hold-up that some viewed as retaliation for his impeachment testimony. Vindman testified that he was alarmed by Trump’s July 25 call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which Trump asked the Ukrainian leader to open investigations of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who had business interests in the country.

That conversation triggered Trump's impeachment, and Vindman became a star witness in the House Democrats' probe.

Vindman cited "bullying, intimidation and retaliation" by Trump in explaining his decision to retire, according to a statement from his lawyer David Pressman.
