Steve Bannon Removed From National Security Council Post

Steve Bannon has been removed from his role on the National Security Council just months after he was elevated to the position which no previous top White House political adviser had ever held.

The shift was orchestrated by Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was tapped as Mr. Trump’s national security adviser after the resignation of Michael T. Flynn, who stepped down in February after being caught misleading Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador.
