....another 'the best'.....
Trump names Robert O'Brien as new national security adviser
O’Brien is the State Department's special presidential envoy for hostage affairs.
....President Donald Trump on Wednesday named Robert O’Brien, a State Department official who has specialized in hostage issues, as his new national security adviser.
“I have worked long & hard with Robert," Trump tweeted. "He will do a great job!”
O’Brien will replace John Bolton, whom Trump fired last week after a string of disagreements.
I am pleased to announce that I will name Robert C. O’Brien, currently serving as the very successful Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the State Department, as our new National Security Advisor. I have worked long & hard with Robert. He will do a great job!

O’Brien had been on Trump’s list of finalists, and the president had praised him as recently as Tuesday as “fantastic.”
O’Brien was integrally involved in the release of rapper ASAP Rocky by Swedish authorities last month. The rapper had been detained and charged with assault in connection with a June 30 scuffle between his entourage and a 19-year-old man in Stockholm.
Trump had emerged as a vocal supporter of the rapper in the criminal case.
O'Brien had been present in court in Sweden when the rapper’s trial began and had written to Swedish prosecutors urging them to release him.
As a State Department envoy for hostage affairs, O’Brien led American diplomatic efforts on overseas hostage matters, working closely both with families of American hostages and senior government officials, according to his State Department biography.
new but still the same old.....same old.....?!
