Trump's first campaign chief, Corey Lewandowski, won't take WH job
None
US President-elect Donald Trump is planning to meet with his incoming national security adviser in the aftermath of violence abroad as the process of filling top jobs in his administration presses on. Trump won't be bringing his first campaign chief, Corey Lewandowski, into a White House job, but the combative operative won't be far away.
Lewandowski said Wednesday he would not be joining the administration. He announced plans to start a political consulting firm with offices just a block from the White House, raising the likelihood that he will remain an influential player in Trump's orbit even without a West Wing office.
Trump opened his day by boasting anew about his Nov. 8 election victory, tweeting that his win in the Electoral College was more difficult to pull off than winning the popular vote would have been if he had tried. Democrat Hillary Clinton won at least 2.6 million more votes than Trump, an apparent sore point for the president-elect. "I would have done even better in the election, if that is possible, if the winner was based on popular vote - but would campaign differently," he tweeted.
