Chief of Staff John Kelly is reportedly furious after someone in President Trump's national security inner circle leaked sensitive information to the press yesterday.
The leak, which came Tuesday afternoon, revealed that President Trump was advised not to congratulate Russian President Vladimir Putin on his re-election campaign. That information came out in media reports after Trump revealed during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House that he had congratulated Putin during a phone call.
"I had a call with President Putin and congratulated him on the victory -- his electoral victory. The call had to do, also, with the fact that we will probably get together in the not-too-distant future so that we can discuss arms, we can discuss the arms race. As you know, he made a statement that being in an arms race is not a great thing. That was right after the election -- one of the first statements he made," Trump said. "And we are spending $700 billion this year on our military, and a lot of it is that we are going to remain stronger than any other nation in the world by far."
