National security aide headed for exit after clash with Melania Trump's office
Source: CNN
Reflecting the fast-moving nature of the events, soon after a Wall Street Journal report surfaced Tuesday afternoon alleging Ricardel was fired and escorted off the White House grounds, a senior White House official denied the story to reporters.
The official said Ricardel was still in her office Tuesday afternoon. The official declined to speculate further about Ricardel's future in the administration.
Her departure would leave national security adviser John Bolton without one of his key allies in the administration, a deputy who has also shared his penchant for bureaucratic infighting.
It was those sharp elbows that sources said led to the first lady's stinging statement, with Ricardel most recently feuding with members of the first lady's staff over her trip to Africa. One person familiar with the matter said Ricardel quarreled with the first lady's staff over seating on the plane and use of National Security Council resources.

Another to add to Rachel's wall...
To hell with politics, I'm enjoying the Hawks today!
They are looking so good. I just wish Steve Rabel was doing the play by play.
I have had it with my godson this week
He spent a few months paralyzed years ago and has since recovered. He loves to pick fights-- gun rights, far right bull shit, all the usual tRumpian crap. Problem is, he lost his job a year ago for being a far RW a-hole. Ever since, he has said that he is handicapped, even though no doctor will confirm that.
Now he has taken to attacking local businesses for not allowing his "service dog" and is trying to collect money from them by extortion to make up for not having a job. I am tired of hearing about what this asshole is doing in my community, and I'm tired of having my friends tell me about all his shit show.
I could go on, but I'm almost ready to call my attorney and let him deal with this shit for me. I'm open to alternatives, particularly from attorneys. My main concern is my family name, and this is a small community where we all know the relationships even if the names are different.
Ideas?
