Bolton Deputy Targeted by Melania Trump is Leaving the White House

globallookpress.com

National Security Adviser John Bolton’s top deputy will leave the White House, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, a day after first lady Melania Trump called for the official’s ouster, Bloomberg reports.

Deputy National Security Adviser Mira Ricardel "will continue to support the president as she departs the White House to transition to a new role within the administration," Sanders said in a statement on Wednesday.

Melania Trump issued an unusual public statement demanding that Ricardel leave the White House after clashes between Bolton’s deputy and the first lady’s staff over her trip to Africa last month. Ricardel threatened to withhold National Security Council resources for the trip unless she or another NSC staffer were included in the first lady’s entourage, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Melania Trump and Ricardel have never met, the person added.
