Republican and Democratic committee leaders have been invited to the closed-door meeting with Kelly, according to Democrats familiar with the plan. Several Republican lawmakers were irate that Trump did not warn them about the executive order, despite promises to keep them in the loop about major policy moves. The Tuesday meeting may not satisfy others on the Hill who want their own audience with Kelly to demand answers.
