Breaking : Kelly has made clear to the president in the last 24 hours he's willing to resign




President Donald Trump, furious over the handling of domestic abuse allegations involving one of his closest aides, has spoken to confidantes about the possibility of replacing embattled Chief of Staff John Kelly, sources close to the president tell ABC News.

One confidante — longtime friend and former executive chairman of his inaugural committee, Tom Barrack — was approached to gauge his interest in the chief of staff position, a source familiar with the matter told ABC News. Barrack said he won’t take the job, the source said.

Kelly has made clear to the president in the last 24 hours that he's willing to resign in light of the president's dissatisfaction over the West Wing's handling of the allegations against former Staff Secretary Rob Porter, according to sources who have spoken with Trump and Kelly.

and Kelly's stint has accomplished Trump's purpose; now he's just one more fall guy to dispose of.

what makes some of you think he's not on board with all the racist, sexist, bizarre crap??

He's one of them. He just doesn't have the scandals or the Russia connections.

Please stop trying to normalize this guy.
