Trump distances himself from top political aides over lobbying work

President Donald Trump insisted there will be no conflicts of interest created by political advisers Chris LaCivita and James Blair after reports that they worked for a pro-Russian government in the Balkans before Russia’s election.

“Chris LaCivita and James Blair are outside consultants,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday. “They do not work for me, other than as outside consultants. They most likely have numerous clients, but for that, you would have to ask them. They are allowed to do work for others, just like all consultants in Washington, D.C.”
