Castor wasn’t satisfied. “When he made this offer to you, initially, did you leave the door open?” he pressed. “Was there a reason he had to come back and ask you a second and third time, or was he just trying to convince you?”
Vindman laughed. “Counsel, you know what? The whole notion is rather comical that I was being asked to consider whether I’d want to be their minister of defense,” he said. “I did not leave the door open at all. It is pretty funny for a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army, which isn’t really that senior, to be offered that illustrious of a position.”
The line of questioning came after conservative pundits have repeatedly highlighted Vindman’s birthplace as a reason to question whether he’s working on behalf of the United States. That includes Laura Ingraham: “Here we have a U.S. national-security official who is advising Ukraine while working inside the White House, apparently against the president’s interest,” she said last month on herRep.
