President Trump’s third homeland security and counter-terrorism adviser, Rear Admiral Peter Brown, was moved out of his role after only six months on the job, Bloomberg reported Sunday. Doug Fears previously held the role and departed last July to return to the Coast Guard, where Brown had also served.

Brown will reportedly take on a new role overseeing Puerto Rico recovery following hurricane and earthquake damage, according to Bloomberg.
