Michael Anton, a top official in the Trump State Department and a key author of the national security strategy, is expected to leave in the fall amid internal frustrations and staffing issues, though it remains unclear if he will leave the administration entirely.
Michael Anton, a former national security official in Trump's administration, withdrew from consideration for deputy national security adviser due to the appointment of Sebastian Gorka as counter-terrorism adviser. Anton's decision highlights tensions within Trump's team, as Gorka, a controversial figure with a history of Islamophobic remarks, is widely disliked by the national security transition team. Gorka's return has sparked criticism from figures like John Bolton, who questioned his qualifications and called for an FBI investigation into his credentials.
