Kelly Blames Sessions For Family Separation Policy

The Hill reports:

Outgoing White House chief of staff John Kelly is blaming former Attorney General Jeff Sessions for a policy that led to the separations of thousands of migrant families at the southern border.

“What happened was Jeff Sessions, he was the one that instituted the zero-tolerance process on the border that resulted in both people being detained and the family separation,” Kelly told The Los Angeles Times.

“He surprised us.” Sessions resigned as attorney general shortly after the midterm elections in November.
