Summary
Andy Baker, 46, will leave the Trump administration in the coming weeks, departing his post as deputy national security adviser and ending a long run as Vice President JD Vance’s foreign policy aide.
His exit adds to a recent stream of Vance aides leaving for the private sector, extending turnover around the vice president’s orbit inside the White House.
The move is the latest disruption at the National Security Council, now overseen by Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the unusual dual role of national security adviser.
That churn follows sharp NSC staff cuts last year, underscoring continued instability in Trump’s national security apparatus.
