Eugene Semyon Vindman is an American politician, attorney, and retired U.S. Army officer. He was a deputy legal advisor for the United States National Security Council (NSC) until he was reassigned on February 7, 2020.
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 telephone call that provoked the scandal 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 Trump.
In 2024, Vindman won the Democratic Party nomination for Virginia's 7th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, facing Republican former Army Green Beret Derrick Anderson in the November 5, 2024 national presidential election. Vindman won election to Congress in the general election for that office.
