[h=1]Trump will fire National Security adviser H.R. McMaster soon: report[/h]
President Trump will fire his National Security adviser H.R. McMaster soon, according to a report.

Although a replacement has not been named, the Washington Post reports that the three-star general is out.
Other reports say that McMaster, whose ouster has been rumored for months, will leave once he has figured out his next move.
The White House spokeswoman denied the president was getting rid of McMaster.

“Just spoke to @POTUS and Gen. H.R. McMaster - contrary to reports they have a good working relationship and there are no changes at the NSC,” Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted.
The President has been unhappy with the cabinet adviser for some time, but McMaster’s recent statement confirming Russian meddling in the 2016 election especially rankled him, according to CNBC.
“General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians,” Trump tweeted out on Feb. 18
McMaster replaced Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who was fired after less than a month on the job for withholding information about a meeting with Russia’s ambassador.
McMaster sparred with fired White House strategist Steve Bannon over control of the National Security Council, but outlasted the arch-conservative.
On Thursday, McMaster called for further sanctions against Russia for war crimes during the Syrian Civil War, Politico reported.
Trump and the general have also disagreed over the White House’s Middle East policy.

John McEntee, Trump Aide, Is Forced Out Over Security Issue, but Joins Re-election Campaign
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR and MAGGIE HABERMANMARCH 13, 2018

WASHINGTON — John McEntee, who has served as President Trump’s personal assistant since Mr. Trump won the presidency, was forced out of his position and escorted from the White House on Monday after an investigation into his finances caused his security clearance to be revoked, officials with knowledge of the incident said.

But Mr. McEntee will remain in the president’s orbit despite his abrupt departure from the White House. Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign announced Tuesday that Mr. McEntee had been named senior adviser for campaign operations, putting him in a position to remain as a close aide during the next several years.

The campaign’s decision underscores Mr. Trump’s tolerance for — and often encouragement of — dueling centers of power around him. And it highlights the extent to which the re-election campaign has already become a landing pad for former Trump associates who have left the White House but remain loyal to the president.

The decision to remove Mr. McEntee came to light on the same day that Mr. Trump announced that he was removing Rex W. Tillerson as secretary of state and replacing him with Mike Pompeo, his C.I.A. director.

Officials declined to say what issues prompted the security concerns about Mr. McEntee. Two people familiar with the decision to remove Mr. McEntee from the White House said he was known by colleagues to be a gambler.

John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff, has said in recent weeks that too many staff members were operating on interim security clearances because they could not pass F.B.I. background checks. A White House spokesman declined to comment on Mr. McEntee’s firing.

But a senior administration official said that many of the president’s top aides were shocked and dismayed by the abrupt departure, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The official, who requested anonymity to discuss personnel issues, said Mr. McEntee had been expected to travel with Mr. Trump — as he always does — when the president departed for a trip to California Tuesday morning.

For Mr. Trump, the absence of Mr. McEntee strips away another of the handful of close associates who have constantly been by his side as he made the transition from real estate mogul to politician. Keith Schiller, the president’s longtime director of security, left the White House in September. Hope Hicks, the director of communications and one of Mr. Trump’s closest aides, has announced she is leaving in the coming days as well.

That left Mr. McEntee, who worked on the president’s campaign and was brought into the White House to be Mr. Trump’s “body guy,” the aide who travels with the president wherever he goes. During presidential trips, Mr. McEntee and the White House doctor were two aides who were never left off the travel manifest. Aides said that Mr. McEntee often tried to keep hangers-on away from Mr. Trump when he traveled to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Now, with Mr. McEntee gone, the president will have none of his closest, most trusted aides by his side at all times. Kellyanne Conway, who remains close to Mr. Trump, does not frequently travel with the president. Ivanka Trump, his daughter, and her husband, Jared Kushner, have offices near Mr. Trump but play different roles.

Mr. McEntee’s departure has several of Mr. Trump’s closest advisers worried about the effects on the president’s mood. The senior administration official said that the president had been in a “good place” recently, but said that it was hard to overstate the effect of the departure, along with that of Ms. Hicks. Both Mr. McEntee and Ms. Hicks have had offices just outside the Oval Office.

A former quarterback with the University of Connecticut, Mr. McEntee had his first brush with fame when he released a football trick-shot video on YouTube that went viral in 2011. The nearly five-minute video has almost 7.3 million views.

Mr. McEntee worked at Fox News in 2015 when he volunteered on Mr. Trump’s campaign and quickly became a full-time staff member. Over the course of the chaotic campaign, Mr. McEntee became close with Mr. Trump and joined the small cadre of loyal, trusted aides around him.

Like Reggie Love, a former Duke basketball player who served as the personal assistant and first body man to President Barack Obama, Mr. McEntee was one of the few people with nearly constant access to the president he served.

But unlike many of Mr. Trump’s more famous advisers, Mr. McEntee was absent from public view, making virtually no comments to the news media and remaining largely under the radar amid the backbiting and chaos swirling around the president.

Mr. McEntee’s ouster is the latest fallout from the security clearance scandal that erupted when Rob Porter, the president’s staff secretary, resigned under pressure last month. Mr. Porter left after it was revealed that allegations of spousal abuse were holding up his permanent security clearance.

A review of the security clearances at the White House by Mr. Kelly found that many officials were operating with interim clearances. In a memo to the staff last month, Mr. Kelly said that he would revoke the interim clearances for people whose background investigations showed they could not receive permanent clearance.

Late last month, Mr. Kushner’s security clearance was downgraded, but Mr. Kushner remains a senior adviser at the White House working on Middle East peace efforts, prison reform and other issues for Mr. Trump.
