By Morgan Chalfant - 02/26/21 01:15 PM EST
President Trump is likely to form a new political action committee and is expected to tap his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to play a leading role in the endeavor.
Trump discussed his new political efforts during a meeting Thursday of his closest political allies, according to a source familiar with the meeting.
Politico first reported on Thursday that Trump told advisers at the meeting that he intends to task Lewandowski with spearheading a new super PAC.
“We haven’t made any formal announcements yet, but Corey will play a major role in any upcoming effort,†said Jason Miller, a spokesman for the former president. Lewandowski did not return a request for comment.
Trump met Thursday at his Mar-A-Lago club with his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.; former Trump campaign aides Bill Stepien, Brad Parscale and Justin Clark; former White House social media director Dan Scavino; former White House aide Nick Luna; Miller; and attorney Alex Cannon, according to the source familiar with the meeting. Lewandowski is also said to have participated for part of the meeting.
