John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, said his ex-boss is ‘scared s**tless’ after indictment.
“For the first time in his life, it looks like he’s being held accountable,” Kelly told the Post. “Up until this point in his life, it’s like, ‘I’m not going to pay you. Take me to court.’ He’s never been held accountable before.”
Kelly, who led Trump’s team from July 2017 to January 2019, has reportedly called the former president “the most flawed person” he has ever encountered. Kelly served as Trump’s chief of staff from July 2017 to January 2019.
On Tuesday, Mr. Trump was charged in federal court in Miami, Florida with illegally holding onto important national security documents after leaving office.
He entered a plea of not guilty to all 37 charges against him, which included 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information and one count each of conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheme to conceal, and making false statements and representations.
Who is John Kelly
Former U.S. Marine Corps general and former political adviser John Francis Kelly was President Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff from July 31, 2017, to January 2, 2019. He formerly held the positions of commander of US Southern Command and Secretary of Homeland Security in the Trump administration.
On the day after the 2021 United States Capitol attack, Kelly said he supported Trump’s removal from office by use of the 25th Amendment, adding, “What happened on Capitol Hill yesterday is a direct result of his poisoning the minds of people with the lies and the frauds.”

Where is John Kelly now
Kelly is now a board member at Caliburn International. Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.
The parent firm of Comprehensive Health Services, which runs the largest institution in the country for unaccompanied migrant children in Homestead, Florida, as well as three additional facilities in Texas, is Caliburn.
James Van Dusen, CEO of Caliburn International, called Kelly a “strong strategic addition” to the team, but Democrats criticised the facility’s “prison-like” circumstances.
The facility underwent a significant growth as Kelly joined the board, adding hundreds of beds each month. Aged 13 to 17, they had entered the country illegally from Mexico and were among the 2,500 kids there as of May.
