The Hill reports:
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said on Sunday that President Trump has full confidence in chief of staff John Kelly amid the fallout from abuse allegations against former staff secretary Rob Porter.
“I spoke with the president last night about this very issue and he wanted me to reemphasize to everyone, including this morning that he has full confidence in his current chief of staff General John Kelly and that he is not actively searching for replacements,” Conway told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week.”
Conway on Sunday also defended the president’s treatment of women in the White House. “Why would someone like me and other women work there?” Conway asked.
Conway also appeared on CNN and Fox News this morning.
