Kelly claimed to the NYT that Trump told him, "Hitler did some good things" and said he could confirm previous reports that the former president spoke positively of the Nazi leader more than once.
Kelly alleged that in his first days as Trump's chief of staff in 2017, he had to explain to the then-president that government officials had taken an oath to the Constitution and that weighed more than personal loyalty.
The former chief of staff also doubled down on his comments to CNN backing previous reports that Trump had labeled Americans who died in World War I "suckers" and "losers" and maintained that the former president had said this more than once.
When asked to whom this was referring, the retired Marine general told The Atlantic, "Yeah, yeah, I'm certainly talking about how he viewed loyalty, which was not to the Constitution."
