Donald Trump's national security adviser and chief of staff got into a "profanity-laced" shouting match just outside the Oval Office on Thursday — and the president is aware of the tension between the two.
Bloomberg News reported that adviser John Bolton and chief of staff John Kelly got into the fight corroborated by three White House sources.
"The shouting match was so intense that other White House aides worried one of the two men might immediately resign," the report noted, adding that neither are leaving the administration over the dispute.
While it's unclear whether Trump heard them, Bloomberg's sources said the president "is aware" of the fight.
