A top adviser to realDonaldTrump says he feared a phone call the president made to his Ukrainian counterpart had undermined national security

In his opening statement to the inquiry, Lt Col Vindman added:"I was concerned by the call.

"I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a US citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the US government's support of Ukraine."After the call, Lt Col Vindman said he reported his concerns to the National Security Council's lead lawyer. The impeachment inquiry was triggered after a complaint from a whistleblower. Lt Col Vindman denied being the whistleblower or knowing the individual's identity.At a meeting with Ukrainian officials on 10 July in Washington, he said America's ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland - a former Trump political donor - told the visitors they needed to"deliver specific investigations in order to secure a meeting with the president".

In prepared remarks, Lt Col Vindman said:"I stated to Ambassador Sondland that his statements were inappropriate, that the request to investigate Biden and his son had nothing to do with national security."He tweeted:"Supposedly, according to the Corrupt Media, the Ukraine call 'concerned' today's Never Trumper witness. Was he on the same call that I was? Can't be possible! Please ask him to read the Transcript of the call.
