White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and White House counsel Don McGahn are reportedly not thrilled with the president’s recent reprieve. Both officials are said to have reviewed Johnson’s case, which involved drug possession and money laundering, and were not convinced she should be set free, The Washington Post reported.
