“Kelly’s first move after moving into his Chief of Staff role was not to go after the myriad leakers inside the White House, but rather to cut the President off from his most loyal supporters and start to systematically force them out of their jobs.”
Kelley was the Oval Office gatekeeper. According to Halley’s book, Kelley denied her requests to meet with the POTUS. Nevertheless, if she really wanted to report the coup to Trump, she could have contacted Donald Trump Jr. or Rudy. Then again, maybe she did, and perhaps that’s why Trump got rid of Kelley and Tillison.
SHE DID TELL THE PRESIDENT.
