President-elect Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), said in an interview published on Friday that officials in the National Security Council (NSC) are expected to resign one minute after Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20.

“Everybody is going to resign at 12:01 on January 20,” Waltz told Breitbart News. “We’re working through our process to get everybody their clearances and through the transition process now. Our folks know who we want out in the agencies, we’re putting those requests in, and in terms of the detailees they’re all going to go back.”
