White House chief of staff John Kelly and national security adviser John Bolton got into a heated, profanity-laced shouting match outside the Oval Office on Thursday, according to multiple reports.

CNN reported that the two men clashed over immigration policy in the wake of a government report that found a record number of migrant families illegally crossed the U.S. border in September.

Bloomberg reported that the incident led some White House aides to wonder whether one of the senior officials might immediately resign in anger.

Neither individual is expected to resign, however, and President Trump is aware of the dispute, Bloomberg added.

Trump later told CNN, “That I have not heard about,” regarding the dispute. 

Trump was present for the beginning of the clash, sources told CNN.

In a statement later Thursday, the White House did not deny the shouting match occurred.
