A U.S. national security official who says she was forced out during the Trump administration has been rehired by the Biden White House.

Ellen Knight was responsible for reviewing former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s tell-all book on President Donald Trump for classified or sensitive information before its publication. She has said she was forced out of the National Security Council in the summer of 2020.
