Bolton and Kelly get into hot shouting game outside the Oval Office
President Donald Trump's chief of staff and his national security adviser on the subject of the Oval Office on Thursday.
The chief of staff, John Kelly, and the national security adviser, John Bolton, fought over immigration and border crossings, including the performance of the Homeland Security Department under Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, one person familiar with the matter said. She was at the White House for meetings on Thursday, but the people disagreed about she witnessed the argument.
BIGGER VENUE: Trump rally set for Houston has moved to Toyota Center
Bolton criticized DHS, and Kelly defended Nielsen, to form a deputy whom he supported to replace him at the department. Two people described the exchange as a shouting match than an intense argument. Kelly then stormed away, so upset that he uttered some profanities.
Bolton and Nielsen had a good conversation after Kelly and Bolton's argument, a White House official said. Both believe the goal is to protect the border, the official said.
Trump has been expressed about a large group of migrants who are traveling from Honduras to the U.S. border. He vowed Thursday to deploy the military and shut down the Mexican border unless the migrants are turned back.
…. In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, I do not think it's a good idea to go to the United States. up the US Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER! ..
The clash is an indication that tension is flaring in the White House 19 days before midterm elections in which Republican control of Congress is at stake. The shouting match was so intense that other White House helps worried one of two men might immediately resign. Neither of the men is resigning, the people said.
Trump is aware of the argument, the people said, even though the president told reporters he did not know about it before boarding the air force. He is a prominent political issue, blaming Democrats for increased numbers of migrants crossing the border.
After the confrontation has been reported, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement saying that there are no hard feelings among the senior advisers. The statement did not address the specific details of the argument.
"While we are passionate about solving the issue of illegal immigration, we are not angry at one another," Sanders said, adding "our Administration is doing a great job on the border."
