Incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is preparing to take swift action once President-elect Trump is inaugurated later this month. In a recent interview with Breitbart News,
Waltz announced that all intelligence officials currently detailed to the National Security Council (NSC) from various federal departments and agencies will be required to vacate the building by 12:01 p.m. Eastern Time on January 20, immediately following the president-elect’s swearing-in ceremony.
Waltz, a former Army Green Beret officer and veteran, explained that he has made his agenda and expectations “crystal clear” to members of the incoming administration, as well as those appointed by President Biden. “Everybody is going to resign at 12:01 on January 20,” he said. “We’re working through our process to get everybody their clearances and through the transition process now. Our folks know who we want out in the agencies, we’re putting those requests in, and in terms of the detailees, they’re all going to go back.”
