Vindman’s wife, Rachel Vindman, took to Bluesky to whine about being left off the pardon list.
“Whatever happens to my family, know this: No pardons were offered or discussed. I cannot begin to describe the level of betrayal and hurt I feel,” she posted.
It is not clear why she wanted a pardon for her husband and what she believed he could be charged for.
Vindman, a staffer at the National Security Council, had kickstarted an impeachment of President Donald Trump in 2019 after he listened in on a call between Trump and the Ukrainian president and complained that Trump tried to withhold military aid from Ukraine in exchange for dirt on his political opponent then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son.
Vindman then testified as the star witness in the House impeachment hearings chaired by then-House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff (D-CA). Trump was ultimately acquitted by the Senate.
Vindman, a Ukrainian immigrant and retired lieutenant colonel, is a staunch supporter of U.S. taxpayer funded-military aid for Ukraine, and during his testimony revealed Ukraine offered him the job of defense minister three times. He and his brother, Eugene Vindman — who is now a Virginia congressman — have launched a business providing logistical support for military equipment being used in the Ukraine War.
