In a statement, Trump says Manafort offered his resignation Friday morning. Trump praised Manafort’s work on the campaign and called him a “true professional.”
Manafort is stepping down in the wake of a campaign shake-up, as well as revelations about his work for a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that Manafort’s firm orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine’s then-ruling political party. Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, never disclosed their work as foreign agents as required under federal law.
Earlier in the week, the campaign added two new top officials to the campaign in a move widely seen as a demotion for Manafort.
So who is going to man the fort?
My humble opinion is that, Mr Doodlydoo’s campaign is falling apart, & this is the beginning of the end,
At the end of the day so far Trump has only praised those that worked for him even if it didn’t work out. Trump seems to be a very pleasant person to deal with.
‘HE’S FIRED!’ because of under the table rubles from Putin Rooskie forces in Ukraine. Trump couldn’t fine Ukraine on a map. Now onto the third, or fourth? CEO of the chaos candidate. LOL.
