'We have no personnel announcements at this time.'

Trump emerged victorious this week with a near party-line vote in the Senate, controlled by his fellow Republicans who rejected abuse of power and obstruction of justice charges from the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives.

But the president, whose term has been clouded by a series of investigations - first into Russian interference in the 2016 election and then the impeachment inquiry over his handling of Ukraine - has said he is still bitter about the ordeal as he turns his attention to the Nov. 3 presidential election.

Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, the White House National Security Council's top Ukraine expert who testified in lawmakers' impeachment inquiry, will be reassigned to the Defense Department, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters. Bloomberg News first reported the planned White House removal of Vindman, citing two people familiar with the matter who said the move would be cast as part of a larger NSC downsizing. Three other people familiar with the matter, however, told Bloomberg some reassignments were because of perceived disloyalty.

The Washington Post, which also reported Vindman's possible move, said Trump has also discussed removing other national security officials who cooperated with House Democrats' investigations, though no final decisions have been made, citing unnamed people familiar with his comments.
