White House chief of staff enters fray

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly on Thursday defended how President Donald Trump handled the phone call to the widow of a fallen soldier. Kelly, a retired Marine general who lost a son serving in Afghanistan, spoke from experience and with emotion in the White House press room. Kelly said he was so upset about the emerging political fight surrounding calls to Gold Star families that he had to take a long walk through Arlington National Cemetery to gather his thoughts. He finally decided to share his own story of grief while defending the president.
