President Donald Trump’s election advisers, Chris LaCivita and James Blair, have contributed their entire six-figure consulting fees from a contentious outside project in Bosnia and Herzegovina directly to the Trump presidential library.
According to an insider, President Trump was notably "gloating" and displayed a "very braggadocious" attitude in private discussions upon discovering the financial development.
The donation follows previous friction regarding the advisers' external business activities. Earlier in October, less than 30 days ahead of the midterm elections, President Trump publicly distanced himself from the two top political aides. At that time, he stated that if their outside consulting work posed a conflict, he would terminate them immediately.
