Of course he was.

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, the White House's top Ukraine expert, testified before the committees overseeing the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

Vindman was a firsthand witness to the July 25 phone call, in which Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Trump's political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden.


The White House released a rough transcript of the phone call last month, but in his closed-door testimony, Vindman told lawmakers that he was kept from adding additional clarifying details to the transcript, such as Trump mentioning recordings of Biden talking about corruption in Ukraine and Zelensky mentioning Burisma Holdings, the Ukraine-based energy company which employed Biden's son.

While the transcript was always known to be a rough transcript, rather than a word-for-word record of the phone call, Vindman's testimony sparked additional concerns about the White House's attempts to cover up the phone call by transferring the word-for-word transcript to a separate, classified network.

Tim Morrison, an NSC member overseeing Russia and Europe, who was also listening on the call, is set to testify on Thursday.

Trump Slammed After Reposting Article Telling Americans To 'Shut Up About Egg Prices'

President Donald Trump was harshly criticized after he reposted an article on Truth Social from Turning Point USA activist Charlie Kirk with the headline "Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions."

Throughout his election campaign, Trump repeatedly promised that his administration would take on high prices, even pledging to lower them on his very first day in office. However, the latest data tells a different story: Inflation in the U.S. has actually climbed since he took over, unexpectedly rising to a six-month high of 3% in January.
