Washington (CNN)New White House chief of staff John Kelly was so upset with how President Donald Trump handled the firing of FBI Director James Comey that Kelly called Comey afterward and said he was considering resigning, according to two sources familiar with a conversation between Kelly and Comey.
Both sources cautioned that it was unclear how serious Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security, was about resigning himself.
"John was angry and hurt by what he saw and the way (Comey) was treated," one of the sources said.
Comey learned of his dismissal on May 9 from televisions tuned to the news as he was addressing the workforce at the FBI office in Los Angeles, law enforcement sources said at the time. Comey made a joke about it to lighten the mood and called his office to get confirmation.
Comey, who took Kelly's call while traveling back from Los Angeles to Washington, responded to Kelly by telling him not to resign, one of the sources said.
The sources said Comey and Kelly are not close friends but that they had a professional relationship and a deep mutual respect for each other.
Comey declined to comment for this story. The White House and the Department of Homeland Security have not responded to requests for comment.

Why do you post unsourced CNN articles? Trump calls them Very Fake News. Are you a big fan of Very Fake News?
CNN should be banned from FR.
Newt? He’s more establishment than anyone. How many Dede Scozzafava do we need?
No question but that Kelly is part of the neocon globalist gang.
I don’t think CoS is the position for Newt, but I’m sorry Trump didn’t take Newt up on his wish to put together a comprehensive plan for reforming the federal government. I think Newt could have been effective at that.
Newt is also establishment. No Newt ever again.
Period.
.
This is a MESS!
Sources. Preibus anyone?
Apparently there is more house cleaning to do.
The swamp wants to make sure no outsider ever tries this again. Maybe threatening Congress’s golden health care was the last straw.
Maybe true maybe not. I do have some reservations about Kelly. When Trump said US troops could be used on the border Kelly piped up and said no they won’t be. It was disrespectful and insubordination. He could be another McMaster but for better or worse he’s there now.
It’s CNN always take with a grain of salt.
Maybe Rush got this ‘tip’ from CNN, from Snerdley. Snerdley seems to tweet/post mostly from FakeNews sites, for some reason :(
More “sources”. I don’t believe any of them if they don’t say it publically.
Everyone is establishment.
Only one who isn’t is Trump himself.
There literally no one fit for any job outside of him for president.
Whole town has to go. Anyone who has ever been in the town has to go. Even those who just visited. It’s cursed, and the curse is contagious.
Newt doesn’t need the headaches. Besides, he’ll be spending a lot of time in Rome with his wife, the new ambassador.
What does that mean? Not in the internet that I can find...
Next chapter in the new fiction novel, “Echoes From the Bottomless Swamp”...

Are there any straight men at that network?
Comey would be the only source possible.
“CNN should be banned from FR.”
