National Security Council rebuilding with aides aligned with MAGA agenda, sources say

The White House is restructuring the National Security Council (NSC) by appointing aides aligned with President Trump’s agenda following the ousting of six staffers, including Brian Walsh. Derek Harvey, a former military intelligence analyst, is expected to become the senior director for intelligence, while retired Lt. Col. Michael Jensen may assume a role focused on Western Hemisphere affairs. Harvey, who previously faced dismissal from the NSC during Trump’s first term, is recognized for his strong defense of Trump during impeachment inquiries.
