Alexander Vindman is leaving his post at the National Security Council, Fox News confirmed Friday.
The timeline of Vindman's departure is unclear.
The news comes after reports that the White House was weighing options to dismiss Vindman from the NSC in an effort to shrink its foreign policy bureaucracy.
Bloomberg reported Thursday that the White House planned to frame Vindman's exit as part of an NSC staff downsizing, not retaliation.
Vindman was an important witness for Democrats during the House impeachment inquiry.
Vindman raised concerns over President Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he pressed Kiev to launch an investigation concerning presidential candidate Joe Biden's family.
During Vindman's testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, he drew applause after expressing his love for America, when asked how he overcame his fear of being retaliated against.
