McMaster Gets a Parting Ovation From WH Staff

Outgoing national security adviser H.R. McMaster is being "clapped-out" of the West Wing on his final day on the job by hundreds of cheering White House and National Security Council staffers arrayed on West Executive Avenue.

Press secretary Sarah Sanders says McMaster and his family were greeted by President Donald Trump, who thanked him for his year-long service in the post. A three-star general, McMaster is set to retire from the Army later this year.

Sanders says McMaster also held his final transition meeting Friday with his replacement, former U.S. ambassador to the UN John Bolton. Bolton starts in the job on Monday.
