President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the military will likely look at disciplinary action against Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, just days after the National Security Council official was ousted from the White House after giving damaging testimony during the House impeachment hearings.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has called on every agency inspector general to investigate potential retaliation against whistleblowers. And in a letter to Glenn Fine, the acting inspector general at the Defense Department, Schumer described the ousters as "part of a dangerous, growing pattern of retaliation against those who report wrongdoing only to find themselves targeted by the President and subject to his wrath and vindictiveness.”
