White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett downplayed reports on Friday that he is expected to leave the White House in the coming weeks.

Hastert stated in a text message sent to CNBC's Eamon Jeffers that this report 'is not true'.

As reported earlier on Friday afternoon by Semafor, Hasset "has been inquiring about positions outside of the government," a trend that existed even before the Republican Party suffered a crushing defeat in last week's midterms.

According to an unnamed source familiar with the plan, cited by Semafor, those mentioned as possible successors to Hasset include Finance Minister Scott Bessent, as well as his advisor David Zewos.

But a White House official stated in a statement later on Friday regarding CNBC: “This report has no factual basis.”

An official who requested anonymity due to discussing this matter stated, "Kevin Hasset is an important member of President Trump's economic team and will continue to advance President Trump's economic policies."

After the report by Semafor was published, CNBC contacted Zewos by phone, but he refused to comment.

This is breaking news, and there may be updates later.
