The [White House] valet had articulated that the president was extremely angry at the attorney general’s AP interview and had thrown his lunch against the wall, which was causing him to have to clean up. So I grabbed a towel and started wiping the ketchup off the wall to help the valet out. He said something to the effect of, He’s really ticked off about this. I would stay clear of him for right now. He’s really, really ticked off about this right now.
