White House chief of staff John Kelly is set to announce his resignation from the post in the coming days after reaching a “stalemate” in his relationship with President Donald Trump, according to a CNN report.
Citing two sources familiar with the situation in the White House, the CNN broadcaster said on Friday that Kelly’s relationship with the American head of state was no longer seen as “sustainable” and will likely lead to Kelly’s ouster in the near future.
