Giuliani's son loses West Wing access

Source: Axios

Several months ago, Donald Trump ordered the promotion of Rudy Giuliani’s son. But instead of getting promoted, he has lost his West Wing pass.

Details: Trump ordered junior White House staffer Andrew Giuliani’s promotion after dining at Mar-a-Lago with Rudy Giuliani, who subsequently became the president’s lawyer. He directed his body man, Jordan Karem, to ensure Kelly promoted Andrew to special assistant to the president, according to sources familiar with the conversation.

...snip...

Yes, but: We're told that chief of staff John Kelly did not follow through on the order, and Andrew has not been promoted.
* Kelly and others, including Office of Public Liaison director Justin Clark, won't promote Andrew because they think he "subverts the chain of command" and claim he had other issues in the workplace that they weren't happy about, according to two sources familiar with the situation.
* According to a source familiar, Kelly took away Andrew's blue staff pass about two weeks ago, revoking his West Wing access. He now only has a green pass, which means he can’t enter the West Wing without an escort.

Has there ever been a time when the Chief of Staff has basically vetoed the decisions of the President?

If I were either of them, I'd claim the other was adopted.

BTW: Did Rudy forget what day it was and call ICE to take away the kid's nanny?

Or maybe the timing of the photo was unfortunate and just caught him off guard.

But I wonder what he did to rile up John "I lie about black congresswomen" Kelly.

For example, the couple who have been selling green cards in exchange for real estate investments?

Got kicked off the Duke University golf team for being a complete ass. Tried to sue Duke to force them to return him to the team. His teammates disliked him so much they emailed him to tell him why they wanted him off the team. Just one more privileged Rethug brat.
