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.
