National Security Team Urged Not to Resign

In the last 24 hours, Secretary Mike Pompeo, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien have all received calls from concerned former senior national security officials and leaders of major national security firms urging them not to resign, CNN reports.

Washington Post: “The message was direct, per a senior administration official: Foreign actors want to take advantage of crisis moments like these. Don’t give them on opening by creating a continuity of government vacuum in the national security space.”
