White House Leakers: Trump Chief of Staff Assured Sessions His Job Is Safe

More leaks…

White House leakers told the Associated Press that Chief of Staff John Kelly called Attorney General Sessions on Saturday to tell him his job is safe. The two leakers spoke on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak. So they called the AP to leak it.

Too bad Scaramucci is gone.
He wanted to crack down on these loose-lipped hacks.
The AP reported:

New White House chief of staff John Kelly, in one of his first acts in his new post, called Attorney General Jeff Sessions to reassure him that his position was safe despite the recent onslaught of criticism he has taken from President Donald Trump.

Kelly called Sessions on Saturday to stress that the White House was supportive of his work and wanted him to continue his job, according to two people familiar with the call. The people demanded anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about a private conversation. Kelly, who was appointed to the post the day before, described the president as still miffed at Sessions but did not plan to fire him or hope he would resign.

Trump has seethed at Sessions, his one-time close ally, since the attorney general recused himself from the probe into Russia’s meddling into the 2016 election. The president viewed that decision as disloyal — the most grievous sin in Trump’s orbit.

That simmering anger burst to the surface last week. In an unprecedented display of a president publicly criticizing a sitting member of his own Cabinet, Trump unleashed repeated attacks via Twitter.
