More than 100 employees of the National Security Council have started administrative leave

The Trump administration used more than 100 officials in the White House in the White House as part of a restructuring as part of a restructuring as part of the National Security Adviser and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio.

CNN previously reported that a significant revision of the committee responsible for coordinating the President's foreign policy agenda was expected in the coming days, including a reduction in employees and an increased approach of top-down, with decision-making at the highest level.

An e -mail from the NSC chief Brian McCormack ended around 4:20 p.m., in which the dismissed people were communicated that they had 30 minutes to clean their desks, an administrative officer said. If you weren't on campus, the e -mail read an address via e -mail and arrange a time to call up your things later and enter devices.

The E -Mail Care line was: “Your return to the home agency”, which points out that most of the NSC affected were detailed by other departments and agencies.

On Thursday, Rubio called in a meeting with school leaders, in which speculation were addressed that it was about reorganization, the official said. And on Friday at 3:45 p.m., shortly before the e -mail ended, high -ranking directors were called for a meeting with Rubio.

A flood of e -mails from those who went, then went out with personal contact information.

After this took place on Friday afternoon before a long Christmas weekend, the official called it “as unprofessional and ruthless as possible”.

The vacation includes career officers and political employees during the Trump government.

In the past few weeks, the employees were re -evaluated by the President's office when the office was redesigned, Sources said. One of the questions asked was what civil servants believed that it was the reasonable size of the NSC, said a source.

The NSC, which is occupied by foreign policy experts from the entire US government, usually serves as a critical institution for the coordination of the President's foreign policy agenda.

However, under President Donald Trump, the role of the NSC was reduced, although the revision is expected to further reduce its importance in the White House.

At the beginning of this month, Mike Waltz – who previously headed the NSC – was removed by his role in the first major employee of the new administration. Trump announced that he would nominate Waltz as a UN ambassador, and Rubio would replace him on the NSC on a acting basis.

Waltz was on shaky soil within the administration -after he had lost most of his influence on the west wing -after accidentally adding a journalist to a chat from the messaging app group about highly sensitive military strikes.

Before the signal fiasco, the chief of staff of the White House, Susie Wiles, was unimpressed by Waltz. And weeks before he was no longer, his influence was decreased internally, the best by Trump's decision to relieve several employees of the NSC at the urging of the right -wing extremist activist Laura Loomer, who told him that they were disloyal.
