President Donald Trump's administration on Friday ousted the two witnesses who provided the most damaging testimony during his impeachment investigation: Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Ambassador Gordon Sondland.

Two days after Trump was acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate on charges of trying to pressure Ukraine to investigate a political rival, Vindman — the top Ukraine expert at the White House's National Security Council — was escorted out of the building, according to his lawyer.

"Vindman was asked to leave for telling the truth," said his lawyer, David Pressman.
