According to statement
by Hope Hicks spoke man for Trump" The campaign is grateful to Corey for
his hard work and dedication, and we wish him the best in the future,"
Lewandowski was fired
during a meeting this morning with the candidate and campaign leaders at Trump
Tower in New York City.
A senior Trump aide
told ABC News that Lewandowski's firing "was a long time coming" and
that the campaign "needed to get everyone on the same page."
Lewandowski, CNN
interview said
that he didn’t know why he was sacked.
"I don't know. I
don't know the answer to that. But what I know is what we've been able to
achieve in this election cycle has been historic,” he said.
Aides had grown
frustrated with the lack of teamwork between Lewandowski and campaign chairman
Paul Manafort, who was hired after Lewandowski. The campaign is expected to
make other changes in the coming days, including new staff hires. Aides also
said Trump has "complete confidence" in Manafort.
Corey claim he had a
tense relationship with the Trumps and children
"I wanna say how
honored I am to have been part of this team, and it’s been such a privilege to
be a part of the team,” he said on CNN.
He also claim his
innocence to sabotage Kushner, a source said Kushner gain influence within campaign.
"I've had a great
relationship with Jared...," Lewandowski said. "So I'm not sure where
that's coming from."
As a campaign manager
to Trump, Lewandowski became a controversial figure in and outside the
campaign. In March he was charged with simple battery after a video showed that
he grabbed the arm of then–Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields at the Trump
National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida. The state's attorney declined to
prosecute Lewandowski. Trump defend his innocence.
"Look, I think
I'm a very intense person,” Lewandowski told CNN this Morning when asked if his
temperament proved a problem. “When I see someone who I don’t think is working
as hard as the person who's funding the campaign, who’s the campaign principal,
meaning the candidate, yeah that bothers me."
