As rival factions inside the White House continue to battle over urgent foreign policy decisions, a key ally of Donald Trump’s chief strategist Stephen Bannon is leaving the National Security Council, BuzzFeed News has learned.
Tera Dahl, deputy chief of staff at the NSC and a former columnist for Breitbart, is being reassigned to a position outside of the White House, three people familiar with the decision told BuzzFeed News. The move frees up National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster to install another staffer of his choosing in his drive to reshape the NSC to his liking.
“Tera Dahl has done exemplary work both on the transition and in the first months of the Trump administration getting the National Security Council staffed up and running from the chief of staff's office,” White House spokesperson Michael Anton said. “It was always her intent to move into a policy role once this task was completed.”
Dahl entered the White House with strong ties to members of the nationalist wing of Trump’s White House — including Bannon, whose website she wrote for, and NSC aide Sebastian Gorka, whose wife worked with Dahl at the Council on Global Security, a now-defunct counterterrorism think tank that warned about the dangers of Islam.
Though Dahl’s role was largely administrative in nature, the delicate balance of power between the White House’s nationalists — led by Bannon and senior adviser Stephen Miller — and so-called globalists — led by McMaster and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn — has heightened sensitivity surrounding personnel moves.
