With 26 days to go before a disastrous midterm report, Republicans are turning their guns on the two men tasked with the herculean task of maintaining control of Congress.
“It opened the floodgates,” a person close to the White House told POLITICO of the revelations that Chris La Civita And James Blair traveled to the Balkans to advise the re-election efforts of a pro-Russia regime as the Republicans’ mid-term prospects dwindle at home. “The knives are now fully out for these two.”
President Donald Trump was unaware of the trip and after finding out, called several advisors to solicit feedback before dictating Wednesday Post Truth Social to a White House aide Natalie Harpeaccording to two people familiar with the matter.
It was extraordinary public distancing for two of the president’s top political lieutenants, whom Trump called “outside consultants” who “don’t work for me” just months later. Asset greeted Blair as “one of the nation’s brightest political minds” and tasked him with helping Republicans win the midterm elections.
