President Trump removes Stephen Bannon from National Security Council

President Trump has kicked Stephen Bannon off his National Security Council, reversing one of the most controversial moves of his tenure.

Bannon, Trump’s chief White House strategist, was removed as part of a broader reorganization, a National Security presidential memorandum revealed Wednesday showed, ending the controversial aide’s brief time on the critical advisory panel.

Trump had tapped Bannon, the former chief of alt-right news site Breitbart, for a spot on the National Security Council just days after his inauguration, sparking an onslaught of criticism from Democrats, Republicans and prominent national security and foreign policy figures.
