Aides to former President Donald J. Trump are discussing getting Corey Lewandowski, Mr. Trump’s former campaign manager who was shoved out of a pro-Trump super PAC in 2021, involved in the Republican National Convention, according to two people briefed on the discussions. It’s unclear what specific role Mr. Lewandowksi would play.

But he is the second ousted Trump official being considered to work at the convention when it convenes in July in Milwaukee. Paul Manafort — who took over running the Trump campaign in 2016 after Mr. Lewandowski was ousted as campaign manager, before being fired himself later that summer — is also likely to be hired for a convention role, according to people briefed on the matter. Mr. Lewandowski and a Trump campaign spokesman didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Mr. Lewandowski was the original campaign manager for Mr. Trump when he first declared his presidential candidacy in June 2015. He was pushed out by Mr. Trump’s adult children in early summer 2016 after a series of unwanted headlines about him, although the former president later expressed regret about that decision. Mr. Lewandowski went on to co-write a book about the former president’s rise with Mr. Trump’s former deputy campaign manager, David Bossie. They titled the book “Let Trump Be Trump.”

Mr. Lewandowski’s forced departure from the pro-Trump super PAC, which he had helped lead, came after the wife of a donor accused him of making unwanted sexual advances. “Corey Lewandowski will be going on to other endeavors and we very much want to thank him for his service,” a Trump spokesman said at the time. “He will no longer be associated with Trump World.”

2. His new job is Designated Asshole. He's their expert at speaking incomprehesible nonsense ...

... they use the Mr ED technique. Just before he steps in front of the camera, a GOP technician smears a tablespoon of peanut butter between his bottom lip and teeth after being sure Corey's stupid haircut is properly off center.
