WASHINGTON (AP) — Raised voices could be heard through the thick door to the Oval Office as John Kelly — then secretary of Homeland Security — offered some tough talk to President Donald Trump.
Kelly, a whip-cracking retired general who was sworn in as White House chief of staff on Monday, had demanded to speak to the president alone after Trump complained loudly that the U.S. was admitting travelers from countries he viewed as high risk.
Kelly first tried to explain to Trump that the admissions were standard — some people had legitimate reasons to visit the country — but the president insisted that it was making him look bad, according to an administration official familiar with the exchange about a month ago.
Kelly then demanded that other advisers leave the room so he could speak to the president frankly. Trump refused at first, but agreed when Kelly insisted.
It was an early indication that Kelly, a decorated retired Marine general who served three tours in Iraq, is not afraid to stand up to his commander-in-chief.

Who leaked this cr**.
“raised voices” - sick and tired of the President having absolutely no privacy without everything ending in the newspapers! He might as well enclose the Oval Office with a sound proof glass! There are so many traitors in the White House who act like listening devices to the enemy press.
Now how they emphasize people “standing up to Trump” and minimize the same individuals supporting the President and his policies.
Kelly is undermining the travel ban? It’s 90 days, idiot.
One can only take so much BS before overload.
AP fake news!
As usual not a single named source for this fake news bs!
Bring back The Mooch!
This whole story could be entirely made up.
Who leaked this cr**.
IF it’s true I’d say Moch. The timing, just like the WasPos
accusing Trump of giving Jr his script, makes me think so.
It’s AP so they will spin it as negatively as possible.
Well, Trump is the President, and Kelly is the new Chief of Staff. That much is true.
This “exchange” took place “a MONTH AGO”???
Didn’t Kelly just start or did I miss a memo?
Vivian and Jill wrote the typical nonsensical garbage.
It seems like there were raised voices yesterday. Then they write “according to an administration official familiar with the exchange about a month ago.”
Today’s “reporters” cannot get the simplest who, what, when, and why correct in any story. J-Schools are too busy teaching kids to be SJW and not good reporters. I doubt any of the great reporters of yore ever went to a J-School.
Ok- I see- this was when he headed DHS....
....and the MSM is trying to take something he supposedly said a month ago and weave that into a new storyline to replace the Russian work of fiction they have been creating daily....
Answered my own question but clearly need more coffee; my B******t meter runs at full throttle everyday with caffeine being the fuel of choice. ;-)
Kelly just started as Chief of Staff. A key if not the key position next to the President. He was selected by the President for the job. The President has indicated very strongly that he has confidence in Kelly.
This article is bullchit designed to discredit the President’s decision to hire Kelly. Its aim is to spread discord and doubt.
Apparently, there are still leakers and they are close to the Oval Office door.
One has to laugh. Raised voices in oval office?
As though the doors and walls were single ply
and half inch sheet rock. Bwhahahahah.
Has the AP removed the Style Book mandate for attribution ?

Has the AP removed the Style Book mandate for attribution ?
AP has zero attribution or credibility when they publish their fake news about Trump or his people.
