From the perspicacious Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner:
"President Trump is making good on his promises to “drain the swamp” and cut Obama-era holdovers from his staffs, especially the critical and recently controversial National Security Council.Pork. Bloat. Waste. From 'scandal-free' Obama. Good riddance.
Officials confirmed that Trump and national security adviser Robert O’Brien have cut 70 positions inherited from former President Barack Obama, who had fattened the staff to 200.
Many were loaners from other agencies and have been sent back. Others left government work."
