White House dismisses scores of National Security Council staff
Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council were abruptly dismissed on Friday, as the Trump administration moved to dramatically downsize the coordinating body, according to people familiar with the matter.
The staff sent home included both career officials who were detailed to the NSC as well as some political appointees, these people said. Like others, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive personnel issue.
