Vaughn Hillyard caught Paul Manafort in a victory lap on the floor of the RNC the other day. But LaCivita and other Trump campaign officials vehemently denied Manafort’s involvement. LaCivita called questions about huddling with Manafort for Trump’s benefit “manufactured horseshit,” in a text message to 24sight News. “But Manafort very publicly withdrew himself.” Asked if Manafort had discussions with Fabrizio about helping steer the campaign, Hughes said he was unaware of everything that people talk about outside the campaign. LaCivita denied details of the meeting to 24sight News, but declined to answer additional questions.
