Fevered speculation over John Bolton's replacement as national security adviser
Speculation over potential replacements for Bolton as national security adviser reaches fever pitch
A large crop of potential candidates for national security adviser is emerging following John Bolton's abrupt exit from the White House on Tuesday. At least seven people are believed to be in the mix. They include, according to multiple sources: Ric Grenell, U.S. ambassador to Germany; Brian Hook, U.S. special representative for Iran; Stephen Biegun, special representative for North Korea; Pete Hoekstra, U.S. to the Netherlands; and Rob Blair, an aide to White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney. Grenell may be an early favorite, as a source close to the discussions said multiple senators have called the White House on his behalf. For the time being, however, the White House announced that deputy national security adviser Charles Kupperman would assume Bolton’s duties on an interim basis.
