President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing his chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, and downgrading the role of his Homeland Security Adviser, Tom Bossert, according to a person familiar with the decision and a regulatory filing.
National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was given responsibility for setting the agenda for meetings of the NSC or the Homeland Security Council, and was authorized to delegate that authority to Bossert, at his discretion, according to the filing.
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 NSCs principals committee.
Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, was elevated to the National Security Councils principals committee at the beginning of Trumps presidency. The move drew criticism from some members of Congress and Washingtons foreign policy establishment.
A White House official said that Bannon was placed on the committee in part to monitor Trumps first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and never attended a meeting. Hes no longer needed with McMaster in charge of the council, the official said.
