Hill seemed to be speaking on Thursday for the dozen witnesses who appeared before the House intelligence committee in public impeachment hearings over the past two weeks. Most of those summoned have been career foreign service officers and civil servants, and several spoke out to defend the honour of government professionals US President Donald Trump derides as members of the “deep state”.

“This is America; this is the country I’ve served and defended, that all of my brothers have served — and here, right matters,” said Vindman, whose family came to America from the Soviet Union when he was a child. Hill, who was described as “steely” by Democratic representative Jackie Speier, successfully jousted with Steve Castor, the counsel for the intelligence panel’s Republican minority.

“I was actually, to be honest, angry with him,” Hill said. “I hate to say it, but often when women show anger it’s not fully appreciated. It’s often, you know, pushed onto emotional issues perhaps, or deflected onto other people.”
