White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett has denied reports that he plans to leave the Trump administration, dismissing the claims as "not true" in a text message to CNBC on Friday.

The denial followed a Semafor report, citing three unnamed sources, that Hassett was preparing to depart and had explored opportunities outside the administration ahead of the midterm elections.

However, a White House official rejected the report, saying there was no factual basis for the claims. The Treasury Department declined further comment.

Hassett previously served as Trump's leading economic adviser during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reports emerged amid staffing changes within the administration, including the reported replacement of chief of staff Susie Wiles by Stephen Miller.
