Kinzinger in his new book wrote of how he witnessed the work that John Kelly was putting in as chief of staff.
The former GOP lawmaker said Kelly spent a lot of time trying to restrain many of Trump's personal instincts.

"It was 8:00 a.m. and he could barely stay awake," Kinzinger wrote.
"The problem with Trump, from a chief of staff's perspective, was that he preferred to do everything informally and on his own with minimum staff engagement," Kinzinger wrote.
