BREAKING: Trump Puts More Than 100 National Security Council Staffers on Leave Amid Shakeup

More than 100 National Security Council staffers were placed on leave on Friday, according to CNN.

The Trump Administration is currently overhauling the National Security Advisor team.

The NSC staffers were given less than an hour to clear out their desks, CNN reported.

CNN reported:

The Trump administration has put more than 100 officials at the National Security Council at the White House on administrative leave on Friday as part of a restructuring under interim national security adviser and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to two US officials and another source familiar with the matter.

CNN previously reported that a significant overhaul of the body in charge of coordinating the president’s foreign policy agenda was expected in the coming days, including a staff reduction and a reinforced top-down approach with decision-making concentrated at the highest levels.

An email from NSC chief of staff Brian McCormack went out around 4:20 p.m. informing those being dismissed they’d have 30 minutes to clean out their desks, according to an administration official. If they weren’t on campus, the email read, they could email an address and arrange a time to retrieve their stuff later and turn in devices.

The email subject line read: “Your return to home agency,” indicating that most of those affected were detailed to the NSC from other departments and agencies.

Trump’s National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and his top deputy Alex Wong were fired earlier this month.

Last month Jeffrey Goldberg, the anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

A screenshot of the Signal group clearly shows Mike Waltz added Jeffrey Goldberg to the “Houthi PC small group.”

President Trump fired Waltz and for the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor.
