Outgoing chief of staff John Kelly contradicts Trump in exit interview: 'To be honest, it’s not a wall’

White House chief of staff John Kelly, who is set to leave the Trump administration within days, flatly asserted in remarks published Sunday that the president's proposed border project "is not a wall" and that all plans for a concrete wall were abandoned long ago -- directly contradicting the White House's repeated claims to the contrary.

In a series of Twitter posts earlier this month, Trump insisted that "we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it."
