Outgoing White House chief of staff John Kelly is reportedly furious with President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump — so much so that he took notes about their activities and requests, and kept them on his desk in full view, a senior White House official said to The New York Times.
Kelly is a former Marine Corps four-star general who was brought into what had been a turbulent White House under Trump, following the ouster of the president’s previous chief of staff, Reince Priebus.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
