K.T. McFarland, President Donald Trump’s deputy national security adviser, on Sunday said “there are changes coming” to the National Security Council.
“The President and I have had a number of conversations over the last two months, really, about what my role would continue to be and where I could be best used,” McFarland said on “Fox News Sunday.” “So I can tell you we talked about it again last night, and there are changes coming, but I’m not going to tell you what they are.”
Bloomberg News reported last week that McFarland was asked to leave her position as Trump’s deputy national security adviser.
The council has seen its share of shake-ups in the first months of Trump’s administration.
Former national security adviser Michael Flynn left his own position in February after reports revealed that he spoke about sanctions in a call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak before Trump’s inauguration, and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was removed from his position on the Principals Committee earlier in April.
