Daily Beast: “Donald Trump has made up—for now—with David Bossie, his former top 2016 campaign aide who was recently exiled from Trumpworld following revelations of apparent financial self-dealing that misled the president’s supporters and donors.”
“Early last week, the president welcomed Bossie back into the White House for a private meeting, where Bossie pleaded his case directly to his former boss.”
Gabriel Sherman: “Trump is scheduled to interview Citizens United president Dave Bossie at the White House on Friday. (Bossie declined to comment.) Bossie, who served as deputy campaign manager of Trump’s 2016 campaign, is known as a political street fighter and is a close confidant of Corey Lewandowski and Steve Bannon. With House Democrats poised to launch investigations of Trump in January, Bossie’s experience in political trench warfare is viewed by Trump as a plus.”
Said one Republican: “Trump is all over how Bossie knows investigations.”
“You’re out of your cotton-picking mind.”

“David Bossie, the veteran conservative operative who has investigated the Clintons for more than two decades, has been named Donald Trump’s deputy campaign manager,” the Washington Post reports.
