US Army prepared to move Vindman to secure location: report By Justine Coleman - 11/19/19 09:42 AM EST
The U.S. Army is ready to move Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and his family to a secure location on a military base if they are found to be in danger due to his testimony in the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump, U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal.
Vindman reportedly requested a security assessment to analyze his and his family’s physical and online security, which was completed in recent weeks, according to the Journal.
The Journal reported that Army security officials have been tracking Vindman and his family at all times to ensure there are not imminent threats against them.
“The Army will make sure he’s safe, and the Army is actively supporting any safety needs as deemed necessary,” an official told the Journal. “It’s hard that he has been catapulted into the public eye. He served his country honorably for 20 years, and you can imagine this is a tough situation for him and his family.”
Army spokeswoman Col. Kathy Turner said the Army is "providing supportive assistance" for Vindman.
