The Post's sources said that Vindman will be assigned to a position within the Defense Department. According to the paper, Vindman had already informed officials at the NSC that he intended to leave his post by the end of the month, but it appears that Trump will move him before that timeline.

Trump on Friday addressed Vindman's future, telling reporters at the White House before departing for North Carolina that he is "not happy" with the NSC aide but declining to say whether he wanted him to be fired.

"Well, I'm not happy with him. You think I'm supposed to be happy with him? I'm not. They'll make that decision. You'll be hearing. They'll make a decision," he said.
