Headline:
Trump may enlist Paul Manafort, who was criticized for Russia ties
Key paragraphs:
Former president Donald Trump is expected to enlist Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager he pardoned, as a campaign adviser later this year, according to four people familiar with the talks.
The job discussions have largely centered around the 2024 Republican convention in Milwaukee in July and could include Manafort playing a role in fundraising for the presumptive GOP nominee’s campaign, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations. While no formal decision has been made, the four people described the hiring as expected and said Trump was determined to bring Manafort back into the fold.
Confirmed???
A Trump campaign spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment. Manafort also did not respond to a request for comment.
Anyone see Trump's campaign comment on this?
Before you all get your panties in a bunch, reminder, we are watching a movie.
