"I have nearly no right to be up here on this stage and I miss every one of you every day", Kelly, waxing between sarcastic and somber, said during an event at the Homeland Security headquarters in Washington, D.C. Hicks was one of President Donald Trump's most trusted and long-serving advisers.

Kelly made the comment while on stage during a 15th-anniversary event for the DHS, saying that he still missed "every one" of the employees "every day".

The New York Times also reported Thursday that Cohn warned Kelly he might resign if Trump went ahead with a plan to impose the tariffs. Kelly's mission ever since has been to bring a semblance of order to a normally freewheeling, chaotic White House.

Kelly has been under intense scrutiny following revelations that former White House staff secretary Rob Porter had been granted an interim security clearance even though a background check revealed domestic abuse allegations by Porter's two ex-wives - allegations which Porter has denied.

Kelly reportedly offered his resignation to Trump amid the ensuing scandal, but the President assured him that wouldn't be necessary.

Trump's children, meanwhile, have grown exasperated with Kelly, seeing him as a hurdle to their father's success and as antagonistic to their continued presence, according to several people familiar with their thinking.

The good news for Kelly is that, like so many staffers before him, he might be on his way out, too.
