Trump breaks with key loyalist David Bossie over ‘deceptive’ fundraising

Published May 7, 2019 8:03pm ET



President Trump broke with longtime associate David Bossie on Tuesday, with Trump’s 2020 campaign accusing an organization run by Bossie of “deceptive” fundraising and calling for its investigation.

“The president was livid when he learned about what David Bossie’s group was doing,” a person close to the campaign and familiar with the president’s thinking told the Washington Examiner. “He thought it was unconscionable to trick people into thinking they were donating to the Trump campaign when they were not.”
