NEW: President Trump responds to the John Kelly comments: “John Kelly never said that, he never said anything like that. If he would have said that I would have thrown him out of the office. He just wants to come back into the action like everybody else does.”

And @PressSec responds as well: “I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President.”
