Eight House Democrats urged Trump in a letter not to terminate the position of White House cybersecurity coordinator.

"Whether it is coordinating an international response to an outbreak of ransomware, fighting Distributed Denial of Service attacks, or protecting American companies from the theft of trade secrets and intellectual property, the role the Cyber Security Coordinator plays in these cannot be overstated," the letter says. "A strong and coordinated whole of government response to these issues will ensure American leadership in the continually changing landscape of cyberspace."

The letter was signed by Democratic Reps. Debbie Dingell (Mich.), Dina Titus (Nev.), Jim Himes (Conn.), Sheila Jackson Lee (Tex.), Stephen F. Lynch (Mass.), Denny Heck (Wash.), Jacky Rosen (Nev.) and Derek Kilmer (Wash.).
