Ex-Trump Manager Thinks His Replacement Paul Manafort Should Resign Over Melania Plagiarism

  • by: Alan Duke

The campaign manager Donald Trump fired last month says the man who replaced him in the job should resign or be fired because of the controversy over Melania Trump's plagiarism of Michelle Obama's 2008 convention speech.

Corey Lewandowski, who is now a paid commentator for CNN, said Paul Manafort should take responsibility for the embarrassment since he has overall responsibility for the campaign. The two men were reportedly in a power struggle that ended in Trump firing Lewandowski in favor of Manafort.

Manafort has denied there as plagiarism and suggested Hillary Clinton is to blame for the controversy.
