Daily Mail: John Kelly claims Trump is 'embarrassed' by Mueller probe when world leaders visit him – and says most illegal immigrants are 'rural people' who 'don't speak English' and can't 'assimilate' into modern America
* Trump's chief of staff told NPR there is 'nothing there' regarding the probe
* He said Trump was 'embarrassed' when people like Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu come to town (Bibi is facing a corruption investigation)
* Says of illegal immigrants coming here: 'They're overwhelmingly rural people'
* Claims 'they don't integrate well'
Special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe is not only witch hunt, as President Trump calls it, but it's also downright awkward, White House chief of staff John Kelly says.
The probe which has already drawn guilty pleas from Trump associates and led to the indictment of his campaign chair and a raid on his personal lawyer also can lead to awkward small talk when Trump tries to sit down with a foreign leader.
Kelly told NPR it's a particular issue when someone like Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu comes to town. Netanyahu is facing his own corruption in investigation in Israel.

Update: Kelly says Trump is ‘somewhat embarrassed’ by Russia probe (AP)
WNU Editor: The Russian probe is definitely a distraction. And even though the Mueller Counsel has nothing on President Trump .... and after a year I can confidently say they will have nothing in the weeks/months/year ahead .... they will continue to probe and investigate, including doing things like this .... EXCLUSIVE: Special counsel probing donations with foreign connections to Trump inauguration (ABC News). And while I am sure that President Trump knows this ..... I am also sure that he knows that this probe is being used to target those who supported him in his Presidential campaign, as well as on those who are working for him now. But that was probably the whole intention of this probe in the first place .... discredit President Trump, and attack those who support him.
