Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday lashed out at a reporter for asking if President Donald Trump’s national security team was in disarray after the departure of national security advisor John Bolton.

“Absolutely not. That’s the most ridiculous question I’ve ever heard of,” Mnuchin snapped. Acosta then pointed out that Trump had had three national security advisors in three years.
