Former President Donald Trump's second chief of staff, John Kelly, once shoved Ivanka Trump in a West Wing hallway and then apologized for it, according to her husband, Jared Kushner.

The alleged incident, which Kelly denies, appears in Kushner's forthcoming Breaking History: A White House Memoir, which hits shelves Aug. 23. Both Ivanka Trump and Kushner, the daughter and son-in-law to the president, were top advisers in the White House in the previous administration.

“One day he had just marched out of a contentious meeting in the Oval Office,” Kushner wrote, according to the Washington Post. “Ivanka was walking down the main hallway in the West Wing when she passed him. Unaware of his heated state of mind, she said, ‘Hello, chief.’ Kelly shoved her out of the way and stormed by. She wasn’t hurt, and didn’t make a big deal about the altercation, but in his rage Kelly had shown his true character."
