Trump is criticized by Harris for alleged Hitler comments, with the latter stating that the former seeks unchecked power.

• Kamala Harris criticized Donald Trump for praising Adolf Hitler and accused him of seeking unchecked power.
• A day after reports of interviews with Trump's former White House chief of staff John Kelly, who detailed Trump's comments about Nazi leader Hitler, Harris spoke at her residence.

On Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Donald Trump for praising Adolf Hitler and accused him of seeking unchecked power.

John Kelly, Trump's former White House chief of staff, recounted Trump's comments about the Nazi leader in recent interviews, and Harris, the Democratic nominee, spoke about it a day later at her residence in Washington, D.C.

Harris stated that it is deeply concerning and extremely dangerous for Donald Trump to reference Adolf Hitler, the individual responsible for the deaths of six million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans.

According to her, John Kelly, Donald Trump's former chief of staff and a retired four-star general, admitted that while Trump was president, he expressed a desire for generals like Adolf Hitler.

"Trump stated that he desires a military that is devoted to him rather than the United States Constitution."

In the statement made by Harris, she cautioned about Trump less than two weeks before the Nov. 5 presidential election, while millions of Americans had already cast their ballots in early voting states.

"Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable," Harris said.

"In a second term, John Kelly's guardrails against his impulses and actions would no longer be in place, as those who tried to stop him would no longer be present to rein him in."

"The question in 13 days will be, what do the American people want?" she said. "So the bottom line is this: We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power."

CNBC has requested comment from a spokesman for Trump's campaign.

Kelly, who previously served as Trump's Homeland Security secretary and later White House chief of staff, stated to The New York Times that Trump met the criteria for a fascist and would govern like a dictator if reelected unless restrained.

According to Kelly, he definitely favors the dictator style of governing.

In an interview for "The Return of Great Powers," Kelly stated that Trump had previously said, "Hitler did some good things."
