White House lawyer instructed Lt. Col. Vindman not to tell anyone what had happened on Ukraine call.
But he said he became disturbed when, a few days later, Eisenberg instructed him not to tell anyone about the call—especially because it was Vindman’s job to coordinate the interagency process with regard to Ukraine policy. Eisenberg’s decision to move the call record to the codeword system following his conversation with Vindman was reported, but his subsequent request that Vindman not disclose the content of the call to anyone has not been previously reported.
