Former White House chief of staff John Kelly said the influence of President Donald Trump’s family was one of the things he had to face during his tenure in the administration.
Kelly made his comments during an interview on Bloomberg TV's "The David Rubenstein Show." A video expert was released Tuesday.
He was asked if it was complicated to have Trump's family in the government.
"They're an influence that has to be dealt with," he said.
And Kelly added: "By no means do I mean Mrs. Trump. The first lady is a wonderful person."
As Mediaite noted and widely reported, both Trump's daughter Ivanka, and son-in-law Jared Kushner hold senior adviser roles in the White House.
