Corey Lewandowski explains why he ditched his lobbying firm

Published May 7, 2017 4:02pm ET



Corey Lewandowski, former campaign manager to Donald Trump, said he left his lobbying firm Avenue Strategies last week over false reports that his company was promising international leaders meetings with the president.

“There were reports that said there were international companies soliciting firms and promising meetings, of which I knew nothing about. I’d never spoken to these individuals. I had no relationship with them and anybody who’s making promises on my behalf is candidly not telling the truth and I couldn’t be associated with that so I stepped away,” Lewandowski told Fox News host Howard Kurtz on Sunday.
