Earlier this year, a top Republican communications operative delivered a plan to boost the profile of Seema Verma, President Trumps top appointee overseeing health insurance for the elderly and poor. The Executive Visibility Proposal was a month-by-month blueprint to have her grant interviews to Womens Day and other magazines, speak at prominent conferences and appear at Washingtons most prestigious social events.
Marked privileged, pre-decisional, deliberative, the eight-page proposal, emailed to Vermas deputy chief of staff, was part of an unusual campaign carried out by high-paid consultants Verma brought on at a cost to taxpayers of more than $3 million.

Basically a con.
