John Bolton plans to fire dozens of NSC officials: report

President Trump's new national security adviser is reportedly planning major staffing changes at the National Security Council.

Sources close to the situation told Foreign Policy that John Bolton is preparing to "clean house" and remove nearly all of the political appointees brought in by his predecessor.

"Bolton can and will clean house," one former White House official told Foreign Policy.

Another former official said that any National Security Council officials appointed under former President Obama "should start packing their s---."

Foreign Policy reported that Bolton is planning to remove dozens of current officials, with a focus on those who have been "disloyal" to the president.

Sure smells like it. Seems to be Trump's way of doing things. It is,after all,the last person Trump talks who he acts on.
