"Stark and troubling": Trump whistleblower sounds alarm over National Security Council loyalty tests

A questionnaire to NSC officials included asks on who civil servants voted for, donation history and social media
The article from MSN discusses a whistleblower's allegations regarding the Trump administration's National Security Council (NSC).

He describes how staff were vetted for their loyalty to Trump, which included questioning their political affiliations and views on Trump's policies.

The allegations paint a picture of an NSC that was increasingly politicized, potentially undermining its effectiveness in safeguarding national security.
