Reporter george, hes a decorated combat veteran and said he was so concerned by what he heard on that phone call between the president and the ukrainian leader that he feared it could undermine u. S. Neuratil security. He said it was not proper to ask the ukrainian president to investigate the bidens and he quickly alerted his superiors. The president has attacked vindman as a, quote, never trumper, but vindman will describe himself as a patriot. He has served for 20 years and received a purple heart. We saw him a short while ago and he is in full military uniform. Republicans though are going to go after his judgment and his loyalty to the president , and george, while republicans so far have been dismissing much of the testimony as hearsay, that argument will be difficult for th
