Elizabeth Warren reportedly trashed White House's John Kelly over his newly uncovered emails [View all]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has reportedly issued a fiery statement against the White House chief of staff, John Kelly, following the revelation of an email in which he described the Democratic lawmaker as "an impolite arrogant woman."

In the February 2017 email, obtained by BuzzFeed News through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security, mentioned he had the "absolutely most insulting conversation" with Warren regarding President Donald Trump's first travel ban.

"She immediately began insulting our people accusing them of not following the court order, insulting and abusive behavior towards those covered by the pause, blah, blah, blah," Kelly wrote, referring to a temporary restraining order on the travel ban.

Warren, who took part in a demonstration over the ban at Boston's Logan International Airport, personally reached out to Kelly and demanded answers about the situation, BuzzFeed News said, citing an anonymous congressional source. Kelly reportedly did not respond to Warren for a week and later denied she had tried to make contact with him.

Warren on Thursday appeared to echo the congressional source's characterization. The journalist David Dayen published what he said was an emailed statement from Warren saying that she and her staff "tried to get answers from the Department of Homeland Security" but that "there was only one problem."

"Trump's new Director of Homeland Security — John Kelly — wouldn't return our calls and emails," she reportedly said. "My staff emailed back and forth with his staff, but we couldn't get them to set up a call or answer our questions."
