His lawyer, David Pressman, called on Fox to retract the segment and make no further defamatory statements against Vindman. “As a guest on FOX News, John Yoo was responsible for his own sentiments and he has subsequently done interviews to clarify what he meant,” Fox said. The resulting attention and threats he’s received have forced Vindman to consider moving with his family onto an Army base for protection, Pressman said. “Fox News has a responsibility to help put out the fire it lit when it falsely accused a decorated soldier of disloyalty to his country,” Pressman wrote.
