President Trump's new national security adviser Robert O'Brien told White House staff today he will slash the National Security Council staff by nearly half and increase the percentage of political appointees in the process, sources say
O'Brien, who has been on the job for less than two months, hosted an all-staff NSC meeting Thursday afternoon spoke with outside allies of the Trump White House to announce the cuts, two sources familiar with the meeting explained.The newly minted national security adviser told White House staffers and outside allies that he plans to shrink the NSC staff by about 50% by early 2020, reducing total staff numbers through attrition from around 200 people now to a total staff of about 120.
Now, the official added, Trump wants them out.Trump has called leakers"traitors and cowards" and in September suggested that officials who leaked to the whistleblower are"close to a spy," and that in"the old days" spies were treated differently, apparently alluding to charges of treason that carried the death penalty.O'Brien's outlook is another reason for the cuts, a second White House official said.
