The new chief of staff for the National Security Council is facing criticism from several civil rights groups and metro Detroit leaders for making what they say are negative remarks against Muslim-Americans, including those who live in Michigan.
The National Security Council announced last week that Fred Fleitz, a former CIA analyst and a senior vice president at the Center for Security Policy, is the Council’s new Chief of Staff and Executive Secretary and also Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump. A spokesman for the Council confirmed Fleitz’s appointment to the Free Press on Friday.
Chaired by the president, the National Security Council is part of the White House and is the president’s main forum for advising him on foreign affairs and security issues.
