Trump Addresses Advisers' Consulting Work with Pro-Russian Bosnian Government
President Donald Trump distanced himself from two of his political advisers, James Blair and Chris LaCivita, after reports revealed they provided paid consulting to the pro-Russian Republika Srpska government in Bosnia and Herzegovina ahead of local elections. Trump stated they work as outside consultants with multiple clients and said he was unaware of their involvement. He added he would review the situation and potentially terminate them if a conflict of interest arises, emphasizing their independent roles amid the US midterm election campaign.
