‘Inconceivable’: Ex-Trump chief of staff John Kelly denies claim he shoved IvankaTtump
Trump’s husband Jared Kushner described an incident in which Kelly shoved Trump in a hallway and later apologized for it, according to excerpts of his memoir. However, Kelly denies the encounter ever happened, calling it “inconceivable.”“It is inconceivable that I would EVER shove a woman. Inconceivable. Never [happened],” Kelly said, according to the Washington Post. “Would never intentionally do something like that. Also, don’t remember ever apologizing to her for something I didn’t do.
Both Trump and Kushner, the daughter and son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, were top advisers in the White House in the previous administration. The book describes an encounter when Kelly “marched out of a contentious meeting in the Oval Office” and “shoved [Ivanka Trump] out of the way and stormed by.”
“She wasn’t hurt, and didn’t make a big deal about the altercation, but in his rage, Kelly had shown his true character,” the book excerpt read. Roughly an hour later, Kelly went to Trump’s second-floor West Wing office to offer a “meek apology, which she accepted,” Kushner writes. Although Kelly denies he apologized for “something I didn’t do,” Julie Radford, her chief of staff, said she heard Kelly apologize, according to the book.“It was the first and only time that Ivanka’s staff saw Kelly visit their second-floor corner of the West Wing,” Kushner wrote.
The alleged incident is detailed in Kushner's Breaking History: A White House Memoir, which is set to be released on Aug. 23. Kelly served as chief of staff in the Trump administration from July 2017 to January 2019.
