Bannon Removed From National Security Council. White House Says He Was Just A Glorified Babysitter Paid To Look After Flynn.

On Wednesday, White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was removed from President Trump’s National Security Council (NSC), according to a regulatory filing cited by Bloomberg. The shakeup also affected Homeland Security Adviser, Tom Bossert, whose role was downgraded after National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was granted sole agenda-setting power over the NSC.

“Under the move, the national intelligence director, Dan Coats, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, are again ‘regular attendees’ of the NSC’s principals committee,” reports Bloomberg.
