Kinzinger in his new book wrote of how he witnessed the work that John Kelly was putting in as chief of staff.
The former GOP lawmaker said Kelly spent a lot of time trying to restrain many of Trump's personal instincts.
"I was surprised by the level of Kelly's distress," he wrote. "He clearly suffered from political shell shock."

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger said former Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly was once so "exhausted" from his role that he "could barely stay awake" during a private breakfast at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
