NH’s Lewandowski Out as Trump Campaign Manager

WINDHAM, NH – The man who is credited with organizing and leading one of the biggest political upsets in American history, the Republican Party primary campaign of billionaire businessman Donald Trump, Corey Lewandowski has parted ways with the campaign, according to the New York Times.

According to sources quoted by the Times, Lewandowski, the former director of Americans for Prosperity in Granite State, was let go.

In a statement, the campaign noted, “The Donald J. Trump Campaign for President, which has set a historic record in the Republican primary having received almost 14 million votes, has today announced that Corey Lewandowski will no longer be working with the campaign. The campaign is grateful to Corey for his hard work and dedication and we wish him the best in the future.”

The Times reported that there were reportedly a number of issues in the campaign related to Lewandowski's relationships with other staffers as the campaign moved into a general election, including issues with staffers that were hired by Paul Manafort, a strategist with the campaign.

Lewandowski, a former state trooper and long-time political operative in the state, was arrested in March for reportedly grabbing a reporter while attempting to move through a crowd after a press conference. The battery charge was later dropped.
