Retired admiral and former Navy SEAL Robert Harward was offered the job of national security adviser to President Donald Trump, but has turned down the position for personal reasons, a senior administration official tells ABC News.
But after weighing the opportunity of national security adviser, Harward cited his family in declining the job, the senior administration official said.
"I was humbled and honored," Harward told ABC News, but said of the job, "It takes 24 hours a day of focus... It's a tough sacrifice" and after 40 years of military service, he was not ready to come back from retirement.
Harward denied turning down the offer because of chaos in the West Wing.http://abc7.com/news/robert-harward-turns-down-national-security-adviser-position-/1758955/
