Flynn, who has been a military adviser to Trump throughout his campaign, was rumored to be a top choice for the position, the National Review reported Wednesday.
"No formal announcement yet for that position. Gen. Flynn met with the president-elect today. He has been a companion on the campaign trail quite a bit, as we've seen over the past few months," he said in an interview with Fox News's Megyn Kelly.
"He'd be a fantastic addition. I'll let the president-elect make that decision. I'm a huge fan of Gen. Flynn," he added.
Later Wednesday, ABC News also tweeted that Flynn had been chosen, before walking it back to say he is a "contender" for the job.
