CIA analyst and National Security Council spokesperson Edward Price has resigned over his opposition to President Trump. In an article published in The Washington Post entitled “I didn’t think I’d ever leave the CIA. But because of Trump, I quit,” Price calls Trump’s actions “disturbing.” He writes that the final straw for him was watching the National Security Council be reorganized to demote the generals and give Trump’s chief strategist and former Breitbart leader Stephen Bannon a full seat on the principals committee. This is Price.
Edward Price: “If this administration decides to go it alone and to say, 'with intelligence be damned,' I think there’s a real consequence for escalation on any number of fronts, and an escalation that has the potential to put lives at risk.”
