Several White House national security directors fired, sources say

(Reuters) – Several White House National Security Council directors were fired Thursday morning, according to three people familiar with the matter.

It’s not clear exactly why the staffers were let go or if their firing is permanent. But two of the sources said several were told there were issues with their vetting. One of the staffers fired was David Feith, a senior director overseeing technology and national security, the sources said.
