Multiple reliable sources, including AP, BBC and Snopes, confirm that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman testified as a key witness in Trump's 2019 impeachment inquiry.

… Also, next to have this, ah, this really sweet crazy drip for sale on her website. Look at that. Hey, what, what, what, what? It's like a Selena.

What we found

Supports. AP reports that Alexander Vindman testified during the 2019 impeachment proceedings about the July phone call in which Trump pressed Ukraine to investigate Biden, and that he was a key impeachment witness.[1][6]

Supports. Snopes and NBC describe Vindman as a key witness in the impeachment inquiry against Trump, who testified before Congress in November 2019.[2][3]

Supports. BBC and CNN report that Vindman testified publicly in Congress about Trump's 'improper' call with Zelensky, and that he was later fired from the NSC.[4][5]

Context. The post's name spelling 'Vinman' is a typo for the same referent, Alexander Vindman, and the claim's omission of 'one of them' is a faithful paraphrase rather than an addition.
