Jen Psaki on Heather Nauert: ‘My Suspicion Here Is that Ambassador Bolton and Secretary Pompeo Are Pulling a Power Move Here’

EXCERPT:

PSAKI: "Look, I think Heather, when she briefed, and they briefed a lot less than we did when I was there, she represented Trump’s positions and his views, and she did that effectively. But that’s not the job. The job of U.S. U.N. Ambassador is to be somebody driving the agenda behind the scenes, the unofficial leader of the diplomatic corps. It should be an effective front line of diplomacy role. My suspicion here is that Ambassador Bolton and Secretary Pompeo are pulling a power move here. They want to consolidate power in Washington. They want all of the foreign policy decision making to be done there. And if they put someone who is a Trump loyalist in this role, if they advocate for that, they can have that."
