Trump Downsizes National Security Council in Latest Staff Cuts
- In early May 2025, President Donald Trump initiated a major restructuring of the National Security Council, reducing its workforce in Washington, D.C.
- The reorganization followed ongoing internal turmoil in the NSC during Trump's second term and was prompted in part by far-right activist Laura Loomer's concerns about staff loyalty.
- About 160 NSC aides were sent home while the White House reviewed staffing and removed several political appointees and career detailees to realign the council with Trump's agenda.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio began serving as national security adviser this month, while Mike Waltz was ousted and nominated as ambassador to the United Nations.
- This shakeup, first reported by Axios, significantly reduced NSC staff and reflects a liquidation of personnel as the administration aims to assert control.
