Shah, one of Johnson's early major hires as speaker, said he wanted to have matters set with his team in Johnson's office before leaving.
The policy advisers' exits were first reported in Punchbowl News on Tuesday morning. Shah's planned departure was reported by Axios late Tuesday evening.
Shah referred Fox News Digital to his statement in Axios, "It's an honor to serve Speaker Johnson, especially through such an historic time. He has shown tremendous leadership navigating the conference through difficult issues. Speaker Johnson has developed an authentic brand of a strong leader willing to make tough calls and place our nation and the institution first."

A survey by The Economist and YouGov taken earlier this month found that Democrats narrowly lead Republicans if the elections were held today.
When asked who they would support on a generic ballot in their districts, 45% of respondents said they'd support the Democrat, compared to 42% who said they'd vote for a Republican. There's still 9% of people who are undecided, according to the poll.
