'I'm Kind Of Used Up': H.R. McMaster Says He Wouldn't Serve Again Under Trump
HuffPost
"He's an extremely disruptive person," McMaster said of the former president.
Former national security adviser H.R. McMaster on Monday said he wouldn’t serve in a second Donald Trump administration if the Republican presidential nominee wins in November.
McMaster joined the Trump White House in early 2017 to replace Michael Flynn, who resigned from the national security adviser role after it became known that he had lied to then-Vice President Mike Pence about his dealings with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
But McMaster left the administration a little over a year later. During his tenure, he often appeared at odds with Trump. For instance, in 2017, McMaster said there was “incontrovertible” evidence that Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 presidential election — a statement that appeared to irk Trump, who called out McMaster on his Twitter account.
In an interview with CNN’s “AC360,” McMaster said he wouldn’t work for Trump again if the former president secured reelection.
“I would work in any administration where I feel like I can make a difference, but I’m kind of used up with Donald Trump,” McMaster said.
