White House has not fired Kelly Sadler over 'dying' John McCain comment

Senior Trump aide Kelly Sadler has not been fired from her position after drawing heavy criticism for mocking Sen. John McCain’s, R-Ariz., cancer diagnosis in a staff meeting this week, the White House said Friday.

Unnamed White House officials told reporters on Thursday that Sadler, who handles surrogate communications inside the West Wing, had joked about McCain’s illness during a meeting about Trump’s nominee for CIA director, whose confirmation the Arizona Republican has opposed.
