Trump Has Make-Up Meeting With David Bossie

https://news.yahoo.com/trump-meeting-david-bossie-195729762.html

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, a senior administration official and another source with knowledge of the conversation told The Daily Beast.

Trump, the sources noted, was receptive, and is cautiously proceeding with reviving his relationship with Bossie, the Citizens United president and Fox News regular who until recently served as a prominent outside adviser and presidential confidant.

For Bossie, it all nearly came crashing down in May, when a report in Axios revealed how his political group, the Presidential Coalition, raised roughly $18.5 million since Trump’s first year in office—but had spent a mere $425,000 on actual political activity, a conspicuously small percentage for that kind of large organization. The Coalition spent more money than that simply on buying books, including pro-Trump ones written by Bossie himself. Some donors told Axios that they thought they were donating to Trump’s re-election effort when giving to Bossie’s group.
