Several sources told CNN that the push for a replacement comes after months of personal tension between McMaster and Trump. The task of easing McMaster out of his role as national security adviser presents a unique challenge for the White House. Any decision with regards to staff, the White House will make those determinations," chief spokesperson Dana White said. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Tuesday that Trump "still has confidence in General McMaster." Officials could not yet confirm what job McMaster might be nominated for if he were to leave the White House.
