A Trump communications aide, who joked about U.S. Senator John McCain's battle with brain cancer, is no longer employed by the White House, the Reuters website reports today (June 5, 2018).
During an internal meeting last month, White House aide Kelly Sadler dismissed McCain's objection to President Trump's pick for CIA director saying "It doesn't matter, he's dying anyway."
"Kelly Sadler is no longer employed within the Executive Office of the President," White House spokesman Raj Shah said in a statement today.
McCain, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer last year, had released a statement after CIA nominee Gina Haspel's Senate confirmation hearing, denouncing her for refusing to condemn torture of prisoners. He recommended that his fellow senators vote against her, but the Senate confirmed Haspel 54 to 45.
