Answer: An honest broker is someone that does not take a place, is not biased in any way and is objective with his point of view, so an honest broker is a neutral mediator or neutral intermediary.

Now answer the question: theoretically, the National Security Advisor (NSA) serves as an "honest broker" of policy options for the President in the field of national security.
