President Trump is said to be considering his son-in-law Jared Kushner as a possible replacement for John Kelly as White House chief of staff.
Kushner, who also serves as a senior administration official, has expressed interest in the job and met with Trump Wednesday to discuss the position, according to the Huffington Post Thursday.
But other outlets quickly received denials from sources who claim Kushner is not under consideration for the pivotal West Wing role.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said she's not aware that Kushner is under consideration.
Talk of Kushner's candidacy comes as Trump told the White House press corps Thursday he had whittled down options to succeed Kelly to five potential picks. Kelly, who is expected to depart at the end of the year, has served as Trump's chief for 18 months.
