The top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee said Wednesday it would not be appropriate for the military to take disciplinary action on Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman for his testimony during President Trump’s impeachment.
“His career needs to proceed based on his talents and abilities,†Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) told reporters about Vindman.
Pressed by The Hill if that means he thinks it would be inappropriate for the military to take disciplinary action against Vindman, Thornberry said, “based on his testimony before, yeah.â€
“My point is, treat him just like anybody else,†Thornberry added.
Thornberry was responding to comments President Trump made Tuesday.
