Kelly was so upset with the way president trump handled the firing of fbi director james comey he called comey after he was terminated to say how angry he was. at the time el canny was secretary of homeland security. kelly was upset by the way comey was treated by learning he had been fired on the news rather than by the president. the call took place while comey was traveling back from los angeles to washington on may 9th, after learning the news. comey declined to comment to us about the story...
