Conway again stressed, however, that the president's tweets "seriously undermine" his own administration's agenda, a point that has also been made by other legal experts.
There is "an obsession with covering everything Trump says on Twitter and very little of what he does as president", Kellyanne Conway said, arguing that Twitter is not the president's preferred method of communicating.
"We don't need the help but will take it!" he tweeted. The original order issued by Mr. Trump soon after assuming office allowed prioritisation of religious minorities while admitting refugees from Muslims countries.
Because the administration isn't able to enforce its temporary ban on entry to the U.S.by people from six predominantly Muslim countries, Kelly told Tuesday that he's not "fully confident" that the country is doing "all that we can to weed out potential wrongdoers from these locations".
He followed that tweet up with more posts to state that revisions to the travel ban are "watered down" and "politically correct".
George Conway, who is married a top adviser to the president, tweeted that President Donald Trump's tweets about his administration's travel ban hurts his case in court. While lashing out at the US court system as "slow and political", he also hammered his own administration for the "watered down" and "politically correct" version of his January 27 executive order that originally restricted citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the USA and gave wider berth to the types of visas that could be restricted.
After Trump's travel ban was blocked by lower courts, the Justice Department appealed last week to the Supreme Court to review the legality of the order. But Trump on Monday shelved that argument.

The new processors are from Intel's "Kaby Lake" family, and some of them have been available for the better part of a year . Apple said the Radeon Pro Vega GPU will offer high frame rates in VR, real-time 3D rendering, and video effects production.
Accusing Trump of bias, they said the US President did not take action against those countries due to vested interest, citing his business ties with the Gulf.
That's right, we need a TRAVEL BAN for certain risky countries, not some politically correct term that won't help us protect our people!
In a White House news briefing shortly after the barrage of Trump's tweets on the travel ban, Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said communicating via social media is "really important" for the president because it gives him a way to communicate "that isn't filtered through media bias". Just as Trump's Justice Department is arguing the ban doesn't target Muslims, the president seems to be suggesting the opposite. Still, she said he'd signed the revised ban "for the purposes of expediency" and wasn't considering a third version of the ban.
Trump's Twitter postings Monday also included more of his criticism of London Mayor Sadiq Khan, saying Khan "had to think fast" on his statement that people in his city should not be alarmed to see a greater police presence in the streets following a deadly attack.
Legal challenges to the ban, including by the ACLU and Hawaii, reject the administration's claim that urgent action is needed to protect Americans from terrorist attacks. And Trump has no one but himself to blame.
"The president's tweets may help encourage his base, but they can't help him in court", said Jonathan Adler, a professor at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
