I didn't know that VP has his own National Security Advisor

Pence's pick withdraws from consideration.

Apparently Jon Lerner's work for the 'Never Trump' brigade earned him negative Brownie points with Twit-in-Chief so he (Trump) nixed it. But he also, it seems, retains his job as an advisor to Nikki Haley who, although I disagree with much of what she says, appears to be at least functioning in her job. Haley is one who I think might abandon the Trump ship at some point later this year or early next in order to run in R primaries for the 2020 nomination.
