President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio plan to overhaul the National Security Council and shift its main functions to other federal agencies. As part of this process, more than 100 NSC staffers have been put on administrative leave. Axios first reported this story, describing how the Trump administration believes the NSC is not aligned with the president’s agenda and wants to remove the “Deep State.” Trump tapped Rubio to serve as National Security Adviser, replacing Mike Walz.
National security analyst Hal Kempfer and LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall discuss the latest on this developing story.
