He began by dismissing four people: retired Gen. Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; celebrity chef José Andrés from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition; Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars; and Keisha Lance Bottoms, former mayor of Atlanta, from the President’s Export Council.
