White House Chief of Staff John Kelly increasingly struggles to wrangle President Trump and has verbally threatened to quit his job, The Washington Post reported Saturday, citing accounts from 16 unnamed administration officials.
"I'm out of here, guys," Kelly reportedly said, though the Post's sources differed on whether the remark should be interpreted as "a resignation threat" or an announcement that he was "leaving work an hour or two early to head home." They agreed, however, that Kelly is frustrated with his position and resultant loss of credibility.
