Putin furor sparks new questions on Kelly's future

Voices sympathetic to Kelly wonder how much longer he will endure a position that he has come to find deeply frustrating.


Kelly critics say the latest episode shows the chief of staff no longer has enough political capital with Trump to be an effective voice of restraint. His counsel, they say, is simply not heeded.

One source within Trump’s orbit rated the chances of an imminent Kelly departure at “80 percent.”
