John Kelly on 'solid footing' with Trump despite leaks saying he's on thin ice

President Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly is on “solid footing” inside the West Wing and has no plans to leave unless he’s asked to, a senior White House official said Monday after NBC reported that Kelly has repeatedly called the president an “idiot” and plans to make his exit in July.

“He’s on solid footing, but if the president asked him to move on, he would say, ‘I’ve served my country three times now,’ move on, and be perfectly happy,” Zach Fuentes, a special assistant to Trump and Kelly’s deputy, told the Washington Examiner in an interview Monday evening.
