WASHINGTON (Reuters) – White House Chief of Staff John Kelly will leave his job at the end of the year, US President Donald Trump said on Saturday, his latest staff shakeup since midterm elections a month ago cost Republicans control of the House of Representatives. “He’s a great guy,” Trump said of Kelly, who led the Department of Homeland Security before taking over as Trump’s chief of staff. Kelly, 68, had some success in restoring order to Trump’s White House after he was appointed in July 2017, but the president bristled at his style. Their rocky relationship was highlighted in “Fear: Trump in the White House,” a book by Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward that was released in September. Trump made Kelly chief of staff after the departure of Reince Priebus, who lasted little more than six months in the job.
