BREAKING: A White House lawyer and former counsel to the House Intelligence Committee under Nunes has been named senior director for intelligence on the NSC, the latest instance of Trump elevating a trusted loyalist to control the intelligence community
A White House lawyer and former counsel to the House Intelligence Committee under Devin Nunes has been named senior director for intelligence on the National Security Council, the latest instance of President Donald Trump elevating a trusted loyalist to control the intelligence community.
The office of the director for intelligence serves as the day to day connective tissue between the intelligence community and the White House. Sensitive information coming in from the intelligence agencies will go to that office, especially if it is in hard copy form. The office also coordinates covert action activities between the White House and the intelligence community, and it’s where the NSC server is housed that stores the most sensitive classified information.
Ellis also featured in the Ukraine scandal, according to testimony heard by the House Intelligence Committee during the impeachment investigation. Vindman was one of the officials who listened to the call, in which Trump asked Zelensky to investigate the Bidens and Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election, and went to Eisenberg and Ellis afterward to register his concerns about the conversation. In early February, Vindman and his twin brother Yevgeny were fired from the NSC and sent back to the Pentagon.
