President Donald Trump's deputy assistant, Sebastian Gorka, has left the White House.
The national security and counter-terrorism expert told the Associated Press he had resigned from his position.
But a White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Mr Gorka did not quit but "no longer works at the White House", suggesting he may have been fired.
Mr Gorka declined to discuss the reasons he left, but in his letter of resignation he expressed dissatisfaction with the Trump administration.
Posted by The Federalist website, Mr Gorka wrote that "the individuals who most embodied and represented the policies that will 'Make America Great Again', have been internally countered, systematically removed, or undermined in recent months".
Mr Gorka was a national security adviser to Breitbart News under Steve Bannon, who also left the Trump administration a week ago.
The 46-year-old had become a familiar face on television, offering a bombastic defence of the President in an English accent. Born in London to Hungarian parents, he became a US citizen in recent years.
He had been accused of ties to far-right groups and his claimed counter-terrorism knowledge was repeatedly questioned by peers.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump has granted his first presidential pardon to former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio.
The former lawmaker was convicted of criminal contempt in a case involving his department's racial profiling policy.
President Trump has frequently praised Mr Arpaio for his hardline stance on immigration.
After the pardon, Mr Arpaio told the Associated Press he would always stand by the President
