\n Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who testified before a House committee investigating President Trump\u2019s call to Ukraine, is ending his 21-year career with the US Army, his lawyer said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Vindman has been the target of \u201cbullying, intimidation, and retaliation\u201d by the president and his allies after he testified before the House Intelligence Committee last November, his attorney David Pressman said in a statement to CNN.<\/p>\n

Pressman claimed Trump forced Vindman to make a choice: \u201cBetween adhering to the law or pleasing a President. Between honoring his oath or protecting his career. Between protecting his promotion or the promotion of his fellow soldiers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pressman, in the statement, said no one should be faced with those choices, \u201cespecially one who has dedicated his life to serving it,\u201d he added, noting that Vindman \u201cdid what the law compelled him to do; and for that he was bullied by the President and his proxies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vindman, who was awarded the Purple Heart while serving in Iraq, testified that he listened to Trump\u2019s July phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky as part of his role as the Ukraine expert on the National Security Council.<\/p>\n

Trump asked Zelensky to launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter over their dealings in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Vindman said he found Trump\u2019s comments on the call \u201cinapp<\/a>ropriate\u201d and was bound by a \u201csense of duty\u201d to report them up the chain of command.<\/p>\n

Trump fired Vindman from his White House post in February.<\/p>\n

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who is reportedly on the short-list of Biden running mates, said last week that she would block Senate confirmation of military promotions until she is assured by Defense Secretary Mark Esper that Vindman\u2019s promotion to full colonel will not be blocked.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
