Trump slams Washington post over Kelly report
Washington, April 9:US President Donald Trump has slammed a Washington Post report on John Kelly's struggles in the administration and denied that the White House chief of staff was suffering from diminished credibility and influence.
"Story on John Kelly isn't true, just another hit job!" Trump tweeted and claimed the newspaper produces "far more fiction than fact".
His tweet however, was deleted and then re-published with a correction to a typo.
Bezos’s owned Washington Post on Saturday reported that Trump has started to bypass Kelly, who has sought to control access to the President in a variety of ways.
The Post report also said that Kelly threatened to resign in a heated argument with Trump where he attempted to dissuade the President from firing former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
But Kelly has told allies that he believes it is his duty to help implement the President's agenda.
In addition, the Post reported that Kelly angered first lady Melania Trump with the firing of John McEntee, a longtime aide to the President, in March.
The daily, citing administration officials, reported Melania was "upset over his sudden dismissal" of the aide, who had come under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for financial crimes.

All opposition leaders will be in jail if BJP wins LS polls: Kejriwal
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said that all opposition leaders, including his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and RJD leader Tejashvi Yadav, will be in jail if the BJP wins the Lok Sabha polls.
Addressing his party workers at the AAP headquarters here, Kejriwal asserted the BJP will not return to power and said the INDIA bloc will form the government on June 4.
“In last 20 hours after release from jail, I talked to poll experts and people and got to know the BJP is not going to form the government,” said Kejriwal.
“The AAP will be part of the government at the Centre. We will get full statehood for Delhi,” he added.
Kejriwal charged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is asking for votes for Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
“These people ask INDIA bloc about their face. I ask BJP who will be their PM? Modi ji is turning 75 on September 17 next year. He had made the rule that people aged 75 will be retired. They retired LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sumitra Mahajan,” said Kejriwal.
“He will retire next year. He is seeking votes for making Amit Shah the prime minister. Will Shah fulfill Modiji”s guarantee?” he asked.
Kejriwal also claimed that if the BJP comes to power, the party will change Uttar Pradesh chief minister within two months.
While Kejriwal was in jail, the BJP had demanded his resignation.
Talking about why he did not resign, he said, “The chief minister’s post is not important for me. I did not step down as the chief minister because a conspiracy was hatched to force me to resign on a fake case.” Kejriwal in a scathing attack on the BJP said all “thieves and dacoits” are inducted by the party.
“If the prime minister wants to learn about fighting corruption, he should learn from Arvind Kejriwal. We sent corrupt to jail and even our own ministers,” he added.
The chief minister also alleged that the “prime minister has left no stone unturned to crush the AAP by sending its four top leaders to jail”.
