According to a source who spoke to NewsNation’s Kellie Meyer, a total of at least five individuals were terminated — three holding senior positions and two others in junior roles.
Those removed from their posts include Brian Walsh, who was the senior director of intelligence; Thomas Boodry, who led legislative affairs; and David Geuth, who was responsible for technology and national security matters.

Turkey issued a harsh rebuke of Israel on Thursday, condemning its latest aerial attacks in Syria and calling on Israel to pull out of Syrian territory and stop obstructing efforts aimed at stabilizing the war-torn nation.

The ministry continued, “Therefore, in order to establish security throughout the region, Israel must first abandon its expansionist policies, withdraw from the territories it occupies, and stop undermining efforts to establish stability in Syria.”

WATCH:

While flying on Air Force One Thursday, President Trump proudly displayed a sleek prototype of what he called the administration’s $5 million “gold card,” presenting it to reporters with a grin.
Earlier this year, in February, Trump had previewed plans for this luxurious immigration option aimed at wealthy foreigners. The proposal involves a significant transformation of the current EB-5 visa process, long known for its delays and red tape, by offering what he called “green-card privileges-plus” to those who can afford the hefty price tag.
“For $5 million, this could be yours,” Trump told the press. “That was the first of the cards. You know what that card is?”
“It’s the gold card — the Trump card.”

While speaking to the press aboard Air Force One on Thursday, President Donald Trump mentioned that he had a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. He hinted that Netanyahu could be making a trip to the United States as early as next week or “sometime in the not so distant future.”
Trump offered no additional insight regarding the timing or purpose of Netanyahu’s possible visit. The Israeli Prime Minister was last in Washington in February, when he held meetings with Trump and other top administration officials. During that visit, Trump and Netanyahu stood together at a press briefing where Trump introduced his strategy for the Gaza Strip.
