Trump Shakes Up Campaign Staff for Second Time in as Many Months

HeadlineAug 17, 2016

Meanwhile, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has reorganized his campaign staff for the second time in two months. He has named Stephen Bannon, the executive chair of the conservative outlet Breitbart News, to be his campaign’s chief executive. Kellyanne Conway, who is currently a senior adviser to Trump, will become the campaign manager. The shakeup appears to sideline Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, who is facing questions about his years of political consulting work in Ukraine, where he advised former President Viktor Yanukovych. The New York Times has reported that handwritten ledgers unearthed by Ukraine’s newly formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau show $12.7 million of cash payments that were slated to go to Manafort. It is not known whether Manafort actually received the money. Click here to see our interview with award-winning Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi about Manafort’s time in Ukraine.
