Retired General John Kelly served as President Donald Trump's Chief of Staff until late 2018, and now he's siding against Trump on a crucial point.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton's allegations in his upcoming memoir have rocked the impeachment trial in the Senate. Bolton claims Trump sought to withhold aid from Ukraine until it acquiesced to performing politically beneficial investigations for Trump's reelection bid.


The allegations have led to calls from Democrats to have Bolton testify before the Senate.

For his part, Trump denied ever having such a discussion with Bolton.

When speaking to a crowd as part of a lecture series for the Ringling College Library Association, Kelly sided with Bolton over Trump:

"If John Bolton says that in the book, I believe John Bolton."

Kelly and Bolton's tenures overlapped in the administration for about nine months, with Bolton leaving in January of 2019—just before Trump's Ukraine scheme began getting carried out by officials.

He then echoed the desires of 75% of Americans by calling for additional witnesses in the Senate trial:

"I mean half of Americans think this process is purely political and shouldn't be happening but since it is happening the majority of Americans would like to hear the whole story. So I think if there are people that could contribute to this, either innocence or guilt...I think they should be heard."

It spoke volumes that Kelly sided with Bolton over his former boss.







A growing number of Senate Republicans have signaled a willingness to hear from Bolton.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.
