U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price will step down this month to take up a policy position reporting directly to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, a NBC News reporter wrote on Twitter on Tuesday, citing a statement from Price.

"On a personal level, I have constantly benefited from (Blinken's) counsel, as have so many members of the Department,” the statement said. "Fortunately, I'll be able to continue to do that."
