Andrew Peek, the head of European and Russian affairs at the National Security Council (NSC), has left his post three months after he started, people familiar with the situation told Bloomberg on Saturday evening.

Sources told the publication that Peek was escorted from the White House on Friday.

Earlier on Saturday, Axios reported that Peek had been placed on administrative leave pending a security-related investigation.

Peek joined the NSC in November, coming over from the State Department, where he was a deputy assistant secretary.

An NSC spokesman told The Hill, "We do not discuss personnel matters."

Peek also declined requests for comment from Bloomberg and Axios.

Peek was reportedly expected to accompany President Trump to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next week.

The President should not allow anyone from DOS,DOJ, CIA or FBI in the White House.

I've never been walked off a job either. In fact I've only ever been let go from one job. (contract lost funding) All other positions I've ultimately left voluntarily for greener pastures.

Now, I have been escorted out of a drinking establishment by State Police. Yes, State Police (and the bouncer). No, it wasn't me starting something, it was one of the acquaintances I was with - but I was part of the party so we all got tossed out. Funny, never went anywhere with that acquaintance again...

I’m of the opinion that the Trump administration could use a shake-up in the HR department.

Actualluy he should hire some of them from those agencies and put them in positions in the White House.

Give them no clearances and when enough of them are hired by the WH, fire and frog march them.

It’s easier to fire them from the WH than from alphabet agencies.
