Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior intelligence director of the National Security Council, has been removed from his post, the White House confirmed Wednesday.
Cohen-Watnick, 31, was hired during the short tenure of Michael Flynn as President Donald Trump's national security adviser. Flynn was dismissed by Trump in February after he misled administration officials, about his prior contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States.
