Incoming
national security adviser John Bolton, the third under President Trump’s
administration, reportedly has plans for a “massive shakeup” at the National
Security Council that involves the removal of “dozens” of White House officials,
according to a Foreign Policy report Friday.
When
he replaces current National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster next month, the
former ambassador to the United Nations and fierce foreign policy hawk will
reportedly start with holdovers from the Obama administration, multiple sources
told Foreign Policy.
Bolton
is reportedly targeting “officials believed to have been disloyal to Trump,
those who have leaked about the president to the media, his predecessor’s team,
and those who came in under Obama.”
“Bolton
can and will clean house,” one former White House official told Foreign Policy,
while another source said “he is going to remove almost all the political
[appointees] McMaster brought in.”
