Trump aide speaks out
WASHINGTON: White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has reportedly told a group of lawmakers that the White House is a “miserable place to work”, as his efforts to quell rampant infighting and leaks appear to have failed.
The remark, reported by the New York Times on Sunday, is the latest example of leaks coming out of the White House that suggest worsening working environment in the top executive office under US President Donald Trump.
“The mood in the White House is one of numbness and resignation,” the Times article said, adding that many staff members were eyeing an exit. Kelly is a former military general brought in to restore order.
