White House chief of staff John Kelly is blocking a pro-Russia congressman from meeting with President Trump, according to a new report.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) told Business Insider on Tuesday that Kelly and other top Trump aides are actively blocking him from meeting with the president to discuss information from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that Assange claims proves Russia didn’t interfere in the 2016 election.

“The White House staff and other top people in the administration are trying to protect the president from himself,” Rohrabacher said, according to Business Insider. “That’s what they think and in fact they are usurping his authority to make decisions — the important decisions — himself.”

The California Republican, who reportedly has ties to Assange, added that “a coalition of people in the White House” were blocking his attempts to speak to Trump. He said, however, that “there are others involved who are talking to Trump” about the Wikileaks founder.
