Dina Powell plans to leave her White House job as deputy national security adviser in February, though she will continue to advise President Donald Trump on Middle East policy.
“Dina Powell has been a key, trusted advisor in this administration,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday in a statement. “She has always planned to serve one year before returning home to New York, where she will continue to support the President’s agenda and work on Middle East policy. She will serve in the administration until early next year.”
