...About 10 days ago, administration officials contacted the White House counsel’s office and told the president’s attorney that they had identified Joseph as the person responsible for the objectionable tweets. A staffer from the legal office then confronted Joseph, who confessed to being the secret author, according to a person with knowledge of the events who demanded anonymity to discuss personnel matters. Joseph, who held a high-level security clearance, was ordered to leave the building. The Twitter feed does not appear to have included any disclosures of classified information. “I feel badly for him,” said another former NSC official who worked closely with Joseph on nonproliferation issues. “You’ve heard that phrase, ‘You’ll never work in this town again.’ Well, he’s just thrown his career away.”
