Corey Lewandowski Returns To Advise Trump, Immediately Screws Up

One of Donald Trump’s former campaign advisers returned to the fold on Thursday and immediately screwed up big time.

Corey Lewandowski, who took a plea deal in 2022over allegations that he made unwelcome sexual advances toward a GOP donor, is back to advise the Trump campaign’s senior leadership team.

Last month, Vance was
