US National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has resigned, CNN said citing two sources.
On Monday, a top White House adviser had said that Flynn enjoyed the "full confidence" of President Donald Trump.
Keith Kellogg named interim replacement, said White House official.
The Justice Department warned the Trump administration weeks ago that embattled national security adviser Michael Flynn's contacts with Russia could leave him in a compromised position, an administration official and two other people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press Monday night.
