Armstrong Williams, Carson's business manager and confidant, told The Hill that Carson won't join the administration and will instead be an unofficial adviser.
It was reported earlier Tuesday that Carson had been offered the position of HHS secretary.
"Dr. Carson was never offered a specific position, but everything was open to him," Williams told The Hill. "Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience; he's never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency."
Despite having no government experience, Carson, like Trump, attempted a run at the Republican presidential nomination in the 2016 cycle.
