Trump fired Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, just hours after dismissing Ukraine expert Alexander Vindman, a decorated Army lieutenant colonel, according to statements released by Sondland and Vindman’s lawyer.


“The most powerful man in the world – buoyed by the silent, the pliable, and the complicit – has decided to exact revenge,” Vindman’s attorney David Pressman said in a statement, adding his client was “escorted” from the White House.

It was an astonishing move by Trump to clear his administration of people who have testified in the impeachment probe, which investigated Trump’s attempt to pressure Ukraine to pursue investigations that could help his 2020 re-election bid.

Sondland – a political appointee who donated 1 million dollars to the Trump’s presidential campaign – testified publicly that he believed there was a quid pro quo in Trump’s demand that Kiev pursue investigations.


“I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” Sondland said in a statement, reported by multiple U.S. media outlets.

“Our work here has been the highlight of my career,” he added.

Ukraine expert Vindman – who worked on National Security Council – was one of a number of Trump administration officials that listened in on a July 25 call where Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky to do a “favour” and investigate his political rival.


“It was inappropriate, it was improper for the president to demand an investigation into a political opponent, especially a foreign power,” Vindman said during his testimony.

Earlier on Friday Trump – who was acquitted this week on all impeachment charges – indicated that Vindman would be removed.

“You think I’m supposed to be happy with him? I’m not,” Trump said.

According to multiple U.S. media reports, Vindman will be reassigned to a position in the Defense Department.

Good news. They can now suck on Nancy's slagging boobs all day without any interruption...

He should fire more of them , stupid niggas

Trump is a narcist

Do they expect him to embrace them after testifying against him. Sacking them is the right thing to do.

Democracy is really working in America, truely, there is freedom of speech in a SANE country.

If these were to be Nigeria, lots of activities would have petition UK, US, UN, NFF,IRAG and lots.

Sacking is not the solution, he only proof that he is guilty of the charges.
We you say the same thing, if it were to be Buhari or any other African leader.

Citytrend:

No go find work
You think someone who donated 1 million dollars to Trump's campaign needs any boobs to suck on or that he wasn't aware of the consequences of testifying against a baby like Trump.

If this was buhari,they would all have been calling him a tyrant

okay Mr job finder, lemme know when you find one....

Trump trouble

Trump is firing more that he is hiring

Good news !!!! Stupid Vindman attorney calling it revenge ? So Trump is suppose to allow Col Vindman and Sondland remain in the whitehouse so they can keep spying for Nancy Pelosi and co . What Lt col Vindman did is similar to participating in a palace coup and he is lucky he is getting off so easy . Even before Trump was inaugurated the democrats made it clear their Agenda was to impeach Trump and remove him from office and Vindman who had security clearance to be around the corridors of the president turned himself into a spy for the democrats.. If Vindman had any honor he would have resigned from White House duty the day he testified but the idiot snake stayed out in the hope he will be alllowed to spy more on the the Trump govt . If Trump had been removed from office would Vindman still have a job at the whitehouse ? Hell No.

Shut up so you want Trump to leave Vindman who participated in the equivalent of a palace coup to remain in the white house to keep spying on Trump for the never do nothing democrats ? Hell No!!!!! Both men where clearly planted by the opposition that was why Sondland gave 1 million dollars to the Trump campaign to secure himself a position in the govt so he could destroy it from within , that how they wanted to plant double agent Mitt Romney as secretary of state in Trump's govt before God intervened . Vindman role in the white house was at the pleasure of President and if he disagreed with the policy direction of Trump the right thing to do would be to resign and not wait to be walked out ....you are clearly just a pained Muslim showing yourself , can any officer in Aso Rock testify against Buhari and keep his life ? Abeg gerrout
