Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the National Security Council's top Ukraine expert who testified last week before House impeachment investigators, has no intention of leaving his post at the National Security Council, officials familiar with the matter said.
Vindman, an Army officer who is currently detailed to the National Security Council, is expected to stay on in his role until his time is finished next summer, people around him believe, despite the recent spotlight he's found himself in. While Vindman intends to stay, it's not clear whether President Donald Trump or those close to him will seek his ouster.
Sources say Vindman, a Purple Heart recipient who was injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq, has no concerns about whatever information the President holds. A person close to Vindman dismissed the idea that he harbors any political motivation that factored into his decision to come forward. They also disputed claims he was critical of the US while overseas.
