Deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland says she will remain in her current post at the request of President Trump, despite Michael Flynn’s resignation Monday night.
The New York Times reported Tuesday morning that McFarland was expected to leave her role amid the fallout from the former national security adviser’s resignation.
But McFarland told The Hill in a Tuesday afternoon statement that she’ll remain a part of the administration.
“I just met with the president and he asked that I stay on. I’m thrilled to do so,” she said.
Utilize her elsewhere in the administration but I think Harward should be able to pick his own team.
I’m glad that K.T. is remaining. She had been a Trump support from early in the primaries. From the pre-inaguration talk I recall hearing on conservative news, she was hired to be on the NSC with whomever was selected to be the NSC head.
