Trump Picks Flynn as National Security Adviser

A senior official tells the Associated Press that President-elect Donald Trump has offered retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn job as national security adviser.

New York Times: “Given Mr. Trump’s lack of experience on national security matters, General Flynn could serve a role of even greater importance than his predecessors. At the same time, his appointment is a signal that the Trump administration is unlikely to be dominated by members of the Republican national security elite that shaped the policies of President George W. Bush, almost all of whom made clear that they believed Mr. Trump was unfit to lead the country.”
