President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing his chief strategist,Stephen Bannon, and downgrading the role of his Homeland Security Adviser,Tom Bossert, according to a person familiar with the decision and a regulatory filing.
National Security AdviserH.R. McMaster was given responsibility for setting the agenda for meetings of the NSC or the Homeland Security Council, and was authorized to delegate that authority to Bossert, at his discretion, according to the filing.
I am still playing catch-up with work stuff, but had to post this. Will likely circle back with more commentary later, but for now I will simply say:
Good. I'd like to see Bannon gone from the administration altogether, but this is a start.
