Trump impeachment witness Alexander Vindman allegedly profited off Ukraine war with contracts



Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who is famous for testifying during the first impeachment proceedings of President Donald J. Trump, and whose favorite military leader is Rear Admiral Rachel Levine, is now being accused of attempting to profit off the war in Ukraine.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in a statement to Fox News Digital accused the androgynous Vindman of trying to personally profit from his attacks against Trump and his reported dealings in Ukraine. You may recall that Blackburn was one of Vindman's toughest critics because he is, after all, an embarrassment to the uniform.

"When conservatives speak the truth, the mainstream media panics and desperately attempts to provide cover for the left. They did this for Alexander Vindman, just like they did for Hunter Biden, Dr. Fauci and teachers unions," Blackburn said, referencing liberal media outlets' staunch defense of Vindman throughout his time as a witness during the investigation.

"Alexander Vindman has always been a political activist and opportunist masquerading behind his career. He saw an opening for personal fame and profited by exploiting the media’s outrage against President Trump," she said.

"Vindman has spent the last three years on MSNBC and CNN attacking Republicans. Now, new revelations suggest Vindman could be profiting off the war in Ukraine, just as he did by speaking out against the Trump administration," Blackburn added.

Vindman has been pitching the government of Ukraine to obtain defense contracts through Trident International LLC, of which he is the CEO, according to a report by Human Events. 

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Vindman responded to the accusations by blasting Blackburn, accusing her of lying and contributing to him ultimately leaving the military.

"Ooh, Blackburn. She’s an idiot, an agent of chaos promoting disinformation. She has never said one true thing about me. Her attacks in 2019/20 contributed to an environment that made it impossible for me to continue my nonpartisan military service," Vindman whined. 

"More importantly, it’s the politicization of Ukraine, by the fringe right, that brought about this war, imperiling Ukraine, Europe, and most importantly the U.S.," the former relevant Vindman added.

The report stated that last year, Vindman, who was born in Ukraine, pitched a project worth $12 million that his company said would address the country's problems with managing the readiness, repair and maintenance of its weapons systems by developing a center within the country to essentially operate as a middle-man between NATO and the Ukrainian military.

It's unclear, however, if the project has been approved as the report stated court documents showed there was an ongoing dispute over payments related to the project.
