Trump fires at least 2 aides

[sufrommich]

At least two senior Donald Trump aides were fired by the campaign Monday in what three sources described as a shakeup.
Both aides — Ed Brookover and Jimmy Stracner — had worked for the presidential campaign of former Trump rival Ben Carson, who endorsed Trump after dropping out of the race.


Brookover, a longtime GOP strategist, had been working as a political adviser. He played a role in helping to organize this month's GOP convention.
Stracner, had been working as the Trump campaign’s western regional political director.
One source familiar with the move said that Brookover received a phone call from another Trump aide, Jim Murphy, informing him of the news. During the call, Murphy said two senior Trump aides, William McGinley and Mike McSherry, would take on elevated roles.
Neither Brookover nor Stracner responded to requests for comment, nor did spokespersons for Trump.
