WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s first campaign manager is joining a growing outside political effort dedicated to helping him.
Corey Lewandowski will be a senior adviser and spokesman for a super PAC called America First Action. That group and a related nonprofit aim to boost Trump’s legislative agenda and the political candidates the president supports.
“Like the president, Corey has a natural understanding of the needs of the American people, and I am excited to be working with him again,” Brad Parscale, another senior adviser to the super PAC and one of Trump’s 2016 campaign leaders, said in the announcement.
Lewandowski led Trump’s unexpectedly successful Republican primary campaign. He left the campaign after assaulting a reporter and has recently been giving speeches and trying his hand at government influence. Becoming a super PAC adviser doesn’t preclude him from continuing to develop those other business interests.
