US Lawmaker Says Congress Will Question National Security Council After Shake-Up
21:22 GMT 30.01.2017 (Updated: 11:31 GMT 06.08.2022) The US Congress will have to think twice about any recommendations it gets from the National Security Council (NSC) due to the reorganization ordered by President Donald Trump, US House of Representatives Armed Services Committee ranking member Adam Smith of Washington State said in a press release.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On Saturday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reorganize the NSC, which added Bannon as a permanent member. Trump also added the Central Intelligence Agency in the NSC.
"Congress will have no choice but to question the integrity of the NSC’s recommendations going forward," Smith stated on Monday.

Smith noted that by allowing White House chief strategist Steve Bannon to sit on the NSC, Trump is letting an ultra-right-wing strategist into a position that could undermine the security of the United States and American values as well as strengthen the country’s enemies.
The reorganization is an unprecedented move to bring politics into the NSC, Smith added.
