Rep. Barbara Lee and the chairs of four Democratic caucuses in the House of Representatives are demanding President Trump remove his chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, from the National Security Council, arguing that Bannon’s appointment to the group is “dangerous.”
Lee, a Democrat from California, along with the chairs of the Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, Congressional Progressive Caucus and Congressional Hispanic Caucus will deliver the demand to Trump via a letter Wednesday.
“While we respect the traditional privilege of the presidency to shape the NSC to its unique needs, we strongly denounce Mr. Bannon’s inclusion in the Principals Committee and standing invitation to attend National Security Council meetings and demand you immediately undo the politicization of America’s national security,” the lawmakers write. “It is completely dangerous and morally reprehensible.”
In an interview with Yahoo News, Lee said she found it “outrageous” and “disturbing” that Trump placed Bannon on the National Security Council, a senior group of experts who advise the president on foreign and domestic crises and shape security policy. Principal members of the group, which now include Bannon, can meet without the president. In Saturday’s memorandum, Trump also removed the director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from the meetings.
