"Trump Verifies Political Ideology of White House NSC Dispatch"

The Associated Press reported that the transition team of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who will take office next week, is also verifying political orientation for professional officials who will work at the White House National Security Council.

National Security Adviser nominee Mike Waltz said in a recent media interview that the people we're going to write have to be 100% in line with President Trump's agenda, and that we know who we want to work with.

The AP said Trump's transition team is asking officials who will be sent to the NSC about who they voted for in the last presidential election, the status of political donations, and whether they have posted articles criticizing Trump on social media.

The verification process for ordinary government officials began last week, and some people reportedly received questions about their political views from Trump's political appointees, who will serve in the second Trump administration.

The Associated Press reported that most NSC officials are experts in specific fields sent to the White House from federal agencies such as the State Department, FBI, and CIA, who usually return to their original agencies after working for one to two years.

The communication analyzed that such verification work is aimed at preventing internal accusations from occurring in the NSC as in the first Trump period.
