National security adviser H.R. I am pleased to announce that, effective 4/9/18, @AmbJohnBolton will be my new National Security Advisor. McMaster and Trump “mutually agreed” that it was time for the adviser to leave his post after discussing the idea “for some time,” according to the White House. “The timeline was expedited as they both felt it was important to have the new team in place, instead of constant speculation,” a White House official said in a statement. McMaster is the latest of several senior officials to leave the White House, following the departure of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
