Politico: Trump says he's considering Kellogg and three others for NSA
President Donald Trump said Friday that he is considering keeping Keith Kellogg on as his permanent national security adviser, but there are also three other names “in play” to succeed Michael Flynn, who was ousted from the job on Monday.
Trump signaled his interest in Kellogg, a retired Army lieutenant general, in a tweet: “General Keith Kellogg, who I have known for a long time, is very much in play for NSA - as are three others,” he said.
