John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for President Donald Trump, offered his harshest criticism yet of Trump in an exclusive statement. Kelly confirms he witnessed Trump repeatedly attack veterans and US service members. CNN reached out to the Trump campaign Monday afternoon, telling officials there that a former administration official had confirmed, on the record, a number of details about the 2020 Atlantic story, without naming Kelly, and seeking comment. The Trump campaign responded by insulting the character and credibility of retired Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley, who had nothing to do with this story. An updated statement from a Trump campaign spokesperson on Tuesday said, “John Kelly has totally clowned himself with these debunked stories he’s made up because he didn’t serve his president well while working as chief of staff.” #trump #johnkelly
