The White House is mulling replacing national security adviser H.R. McMaster, according to a report on Thursday.

The move to oust McMaster, an Army general, is being orchestrated by White House chief of staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary James Mattis, MSNBC reported.

He could be replaced as early as next month by auto industry executive Stephen Biegun, the network said.

Biegun, vice president of international governmental affairs for the Ford Motor Company, served on the National Security Council staff from 2001 to 2003 and worked as a senior staffer for former national security adviser Condoleezza Rice in the George W. Bush administration.

Rice introduced Biegun to Mattis and recommend him for a job in the Trump administration.

After a meeting at a think tank event, Mattis came to believe that Biegun would be a good candidate for the post.

McMaster, who has no ties to the Trump campaign, has had a rocky relationship with the president and recently publicly disagreed with him.

At a security forum in Germany in February, McMaster said Russian meddling in the 2016 election was “incontrovertible.”

That led Trump to respond in a tweet: “General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only Collusion was between Russia and Crooked H, the DNC and the Dems. Remember the Dirty Dossier, Uranium, Speeches, Emails and the Podesta Company!”

Biegun did not return MSNBC’s calls for comment.

McMaster was named national security adviser in February 2017 after the departure of Michael Flynn.

“We frequently face rumor and innuendo about senior administration officials. There are no personnel announcements at this time,” responded White house spokesman Raj Shah.

Later, National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton added:

“I was just with President Trump and H.R. McMaster in the Oval Office. President Trump said that the NBC News story is ‘fake news,’ and told McMaster that he is doing a great job.”
