A seat at the table[edit]
President Trump reorganized the National Security Council by elevating his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, and demoting the director of National Intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.[1]
Bannon in[edit]
"""A week (JAN28) into the new administration Steve Bannon was appointed to the National Security Council and given a full seat. The appointment downgraded the participation of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence. To give a political adviser a seat on the committee was an exceedingly unusual move."""[2]
Bannon out[edit]
- White House adviser and chief political strategist Steve Bannon is out as a member of the National Security Council. His appointment to the council had been "one of the most controversial decisions of the young Trump administration."""[3]
Restructuring[edit]
