Under John Kelly's leadership, the president's closest confidant has to ask permission to speak to him.

Kelly was previously the Secretary of Homeland Security before he joined the West Wing following ex-chief of staff Reince Priebus' departure in July.

Since his arrival, Kelly has brought some order to the White House, but he has also reportedly earned criticism from some West Wing staffers who believe he is micromanaging and overstepping his mandate. One of his subordinates told The Post that Kelly has turned into a "one-man choke point," and some staffers have nicknamed Kelly "the church lady" because of his strictness.
