Eugene Vindman is an immigrant, a husband, a father of two, a human rights lawyer, and a former Colonel in the U.S. Army. He and his twin brother Alex were born in the Soviet Ukraine. Following the death of their mother, the family immigrated to America as refugees with $759 to their name.
In 2019, after serving 22 years in the Army, he served on the National Security Council as the senior ethics attorney when he blew the whistle on the infamous phone call in which President Trump attempted to extort President Zelenskiy of Ukraine, threatening to withhold critical aid if Ukraine didn't investigate President Biden’s family. Trump was impeached but acquitted by the Senate. Trump retaliated and Trump’s vengeance cost Eugene his career. Colonel Vindman is now running to represent Virginia’s 7th Congressional District.
Join us as we discuss Eugene's storied life including childhood, the Trump impeachment hearings, and his campaign for Congress.
