No one to be fired after Melania Trump speech plagiarism episode(CNN) Donald Trump's presidential campaign doesn't plan to fire anybody or to take disciplinary action over the controversy surrounding Melania Trump's plagiarism of Michelle Obama, CNN learned Tuesday.
Trump's campaign hopes to simply move on without further addressing questions about the speech.
Aides to the presumptive Republican nominee are scrambling to move past the imbroglio after a passage in Melania Trump's speech Monday night, which headlined the Republican National Convention's opening night, closely mirrored a portion of Michelle Obama's address to the Democratic National Convention in 2008.
It's set off infighting and finger-pointing within Trump's campaign, and two sources told CNN that Donald Trump himself is furious about it.

OP
The only reason the person responsible hasn't been fired is because they *CAN'T* be fired.

They can be divorced. And this is making Donald's next divorce much easier for him. nt

Count on your fingers who that could be, and imagine the awkwardness of the next Trump family Thanksgiving.
