Now if he could just be removed from the White House entirely...
Trump removes Bannon from National Security Council
President Trump has removed chief White House strategist Steve Bannon from his role on the National Security Council (NSC), according to a regulatory filing dated Tuesday.
Bannon in January was elevated to a position on the NSC principals committee, in a shakeup of the council. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and director of national intelligence had their roles downgraded in the move.
The Joint Chiefs chairman and intelligence director are having their roles on the principals committee restored, the filing said.
Bloomberg first reported the move Wednesday morning.
"Susan Rice operationalized the NSC during the last administration. I was put on to ensure that it was de-operationalized," Bannon said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal. "General McMaster has returned the NSC to its proper function.”
WTF does that even mean?????
Also too:
The White House stressed the move is not a demotion for Bannon, who is one of Trump’s closest advisers.
Could be true, could be bullshit; the whole story is either a big nothing or a sign of bloody in-fighting in the Administration. We'll have to wait for the leakers' accounts to figure out which.
