"SNIP...........
Gabriel Sherman: At around 9:30 Monday morning, Donald Trump and his adult children gathered for a regular strategy meeting at Trump Tower. Also present were senior staff, including Corey Lewandowski, the campaigns embattled manager According to two sources briefed on the events, the meeting was a setup. Shortly after it began, the children peppered Lewandowski with questions, asking him to explain the campaigns lack of infrastructure.
Their father grew visibly upset as he heard the list of failures. Finally, he turned to Lewandowski and said, Whats your plan here?
Lewandowski responded that he wanted to leak Trumps vice-president pick. And with that, Lewandowski was out. Trump has long viewed announcing his running mate at the GOP convention next month as a valuable card to play. He was shocked that Lewandowski didnt have any other ideas.
Shortly after the meeting, Lewandowski was escorted out of the building by Trump security.

Why did his children have to tell him something was wrong with Lewandowski?

Did Lewandowski pay himself via Draper Sterling? Is that what led to the firing?

only done to save face. He needed a scapegoat for his failures.
