Trump's Russia adviser was escorted from the White House after 2 months on the job, as part of a mysterious security probe
The National Security Council's senior director for European and Russian affairs has been placed on administrative leave, and escorted out of the White House, the Associated Press and Axios reported.
Andrew Peek was put on leave pending the result of an as-yet unknown security-related investigation, the reports say.
Peek was appointed to the role in November. The National Security Council is the main foreign-policy unit at the White House.
His predecessors, Fiona Hill and Tim Morrison, testified to the House last year as part of President Donald Trump's impeachment probe.
Before his White House appointment, Peek worked for the State Department, and focused on Iran and Iraq.
