Corey Lewandowski Sent Home to New Hampshire After Trump Campaign Coup Fails
Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has been exiled to New Hampshire after parachuting onto this year’s campaign in August and suggesting to people he was plotting a coup, according to a report in The Guardian.
After the abrasive Lewandowski returned to the Trump orbit as an unpaid senior adviser, he told people he had been brought back to “run the campaign,” sources told the newspaper. That was false, those sources said, noting Trump merely asked people to find “something for Corey to do.”
In addition to playing palace intrigue against Trump campaign chiefs Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, Lewandowski also began a clandestine audit of the campaign’s finances because of his misgivings about LaCivita, The Guardian reported.
