Fired NSC Aide Reveals Political Warfare Operation Targeting Trump

A White House National Security Council official has charged that leftist opponents of President Trump are engaged in political warfare operations designed to subvert his presidency and drive him from office.

Rich Higgins, until recently the director of strategic planning at the NSC, revealed the program in a seven-page memorandum produced in May that warns of a concerted information warfare campaign by the Marxist left, Islamists, and political leaders and government officials opposed to the populist president.

"The Trump administration is suffering under withering information campaigns designed to first undermine, then de-legitimize and ultimately remove the president," Higgins states.

"This is not politics as usual but rather political warfare at an unprecedented level that is openly engaged in-- the direct targeting of a seated president through manipulation of the news cycle," he said.

Higgins, an Army veteran and former Pentagon official who specialized in irregular warfare and who was dismissed last month for writing the memo, said the attacks should not be confused with normal partisan political attacks or adversarial media attention.

The former aide criticized the White House for failing to counter the activities and said the political warfare attacks threaten the Trump presidency.
