First Lady Melania Trump Just Publicly Called for a National Security Council Official to Be Fired

(WASHINGTON) — In an extraordinary move, Melania Trump is publicly calling for the dismissal of a top White House National Security Council official.

After reports circulated Tuesday that the president had decided to remove Mira Ricardel from the NSC, the first lady's spokeswoman issued a statement saying: "It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that she no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House."

Ricardel is national security adviser John Bolton's deputy.
