Corey Lewandowski joins Trump campaign to assist with convention
Corey Lewandowski, who has drifted in and out of former President Trump's orbit, is joining the Trump campaign ahead of November's election.
A campaign official confirmed to The Hill that Lewandowski is advising the campaign on the delegate and convention process. A second official said Lewandowski is "engaged on the convention team."
The Republican National Convention is slated to take place in mid-July in Milwaukee.
National Review first reported on Lewandowski's hiring.
Lewandowski served as Trump’s first campaign chair during the 2016 campaign before he was ousted and eventually replaced by Kellyanne Conway and campaign Chair Paul Manafort.
The Massachusetts native co-authored two books during Trump's first term that were highly complimentary of Trump, defended him against criticism and lashed out at the so-called deep state.
Lewandowski was removed from a top post at a pro-Trump super PAC in 2021 after he was accused by a major donor's wife of making unwanted advances during an event in Las Vegas.
