President Donald Trump said he wants Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who has reportedly fallen out of favor over illegal immigration, “to be much tougher on the border” and suggested potential changes in his administration could also include Chief of Staff John Kelly.
In an interview that aired on “Fox News Sunday,” Trump said he likes Nielsen but suggested there was only a “chance” she’d be continuing in her position. He said was thinking about changing “three or four or five positions” and “maybe it’s going to end up being two.”’
