President Barack Obama is expected to tap a key national security confidant to serve as his next chief of staff, the Associated Press reported Thursday.

Although the unnamed White House officials said in the report that Obama has not finalized his decision yet, he is said to be close to giving the job to Denis McDonough, the president’s deputy national security adviser.

McDonough would replace Jack Lew, who last week was nominated by Obama to serve as the next secretary of the treasury.
