CNN’s Corey Lewandowski lashes out at Newsweek for exposing Trump’s sketchy foreign entanglements

In a blistering expose, Newsweek asked if Trump would be willing to sever all ties with the Trump Organization and it’s secret foreign investments. They then outlined the complicated network of Trump businesses and relationships from Mumbai to the Middle East and even Libya. There are also deep connections in China, Brazil, Bulgaria, Argentina, Canada, France, Germany and other countries.

But former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski says it’s all hogwash. On a Wednesday episode of “New Day,” the paid CNN commentator attacked Newsweek writer Kurt Eichenwald claiming he has “zero credibility” because Lewandowski claims Eichenwald alleged “George W. Bush was directly related to 9/11.” Eichenwald actually wrote a detailed piece that showed the warnings the Bush Administration got that an Al Qaeda strike was possible. The piece never said that Bush was related to 9/11, as Lewandowski claimed.

Eichenwald’s report asks if Trump would step away, as the Clintons would say they would from their foundation. “Absolutely not,” Lewandowski responded.

Trump has claimed in the past that he would put the company in a blind trust and his adult children would run the organization. In an interview with “Good Morning America,” Ivanka Trump said that they wouldn’t pursue any business deals that could appear as though they’re a conflict of interest. Lewandowski then slammed Eichenwald for not reaching out to “fact check the story with the Trump Organization.”

My recollection is that he left the campaign after his involvement with Russia-backed Ukraine leader.
