Hi John. It’s Alexander Vindman, reaching out to you with a personal request. John, I’d like to take a moment to refresh your memory: In 2019, Eugene and I found ourselves in an unprecedented situation. I overheard a shocking phone call between then-President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I listened to Trump pressure Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden, using U.S. military aid as leverage. It was an abuse of power I couldn’t ignore. I turned to my brother Eugene, the ethics attorney at the National Security Council. Together, we blew the whistle on Trump’s corrupt phone call and reported it up the chain of command. Eventually, I testified before a closed session of the House Intelligence Committee. The man leading that committee was none other than Rep. Adam Schiff. Adam's commitment to integrity and his fearless leadership resulted in the first bipartisan vote in a Senate impeachment trial to convict a U.S. president. All three of us — Eugene, Adam, and I — did what we could to bring the truth to light. But it did not come without consequences. Trump retaliated, ending Eugene’s military career and mine. And since then, Trump, the Republican Party, and right-wing media have targeted Adam Schiff relentlessly, attempting to discredit and remove him from Congress simply because he upheld the rule of law. But Trump and the GOP cannot stop the pro-democracy movement Eugene and Adam are building. We NEED leaders like Eugene and Adam in the House and Senate fighting to defend our democracy, and they know it. However, it won’t be easy. Adam, Eugene, and I have all dealt with Republicans’ attacks and insults. The MAGA movement wants nothing more than to defeat Adam and Eugene this November — because they know that Eugene and Adam will hold Trump to account. That’s why I’m urgently asking:
