John Kelly, Trump’s chief of staff, and John Bolton, his moustache, got into a “profanity-laced” shouting match so nasty that a resignation from one or the other was briefly anticipated, reports Jennifer Jacobs.
The chief of staff, John Kelly, and the national security adviser, John Bolton, fought over immigration and border crossings, including the performance of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, one person familiar with the matter said.
Bolton criticized Nielsen, a former Kelly deputy whom he advocated to replace him at the department. Trump sided with Bolton, the person said, which may once again stir speculation that Kelly will soon depart the White House.
