Yevgeny Semyon "Eugene" Vindman[1][2] (Ukrainian: Євген Семенович Віндман; born June 6, 1975) is a retired United States Army lieutenant colonel and American politician. He was a deputy legal advisor for the United States National Security Council (NSC) until he was reassigned on February 7, 2020.[3]
Vindman came to national attention in October 2019 when his twin brother, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, testified before the United States Congress regarding the Trump–Ukraine scandal. Eugene received the report of President Trump's phone call from Alex and reported the call to senior White House lawyers. Alex's testimony provided evidence that resulted in a charge of abuse of power in the impeachment of Donald Trump.
In June 2024, Vindman won the Democratic primary for Virginia's 7th congressional district in the House of Representatives.[4] He will face Republican Derrick Anderson in the general election.[5]
