Panetta: Kelly has become a 'virtual White House intern'

Former chief of staff to Bill Clinton, Leon Panetta, told The Washington Post that as chief of staff John Kelly loses power in the Oval Office he becomes a "virtual White House intern."

"When you lose that power," Panetta told the Post, "you become a virtual White House intern, being told where to go and what to do."

According to the Post, Kelly has lost his “credibility and influence” within the White House.

Kelly was not fully consulted on recent key personnel decisions and has lost the support of some of the staff while angering First Lady Melania Trump by dismissing the president’s aide, Johnny McEntee, White House sources told the Post.
