Joint Chiefs chairman said to be unconcerned over NSC changes

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford is said to be fine with President Trump’s reorganization the National Security Council, a reshuffling that no longer lists him as a standing member of the Principals Committee.

The change was included in a presidential memo signed Saturday, which reverts to language from the last Republican administration that recognizes the chairman and the director of national intelligence as “statutory” advisers to the NSC, but says they will attend the committee only “when issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise are to be discussed.”
