US President Donald Trump hinted in on Sunday that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis "could be" leaving, referring to him as "sort of a Democrat", AFP reports.
Speaking on CBS's "60 Minutes," Trump was asked whether he wanted Mattis to leave.
"It could be that he is. I think he's sort of a Democrat, if you want to know the truth," the President replied, before adding, "But General Mattis is a good guy. We get along very well. He may leave. I mean, at some point, everybody leaves."
