Six of President Donald Trump’s top campaign aides have banded together to start a non-profit called “America First Policies” to back the White House agenda. The group includes Trump’s digital and data director Brad Parscale, onetime deputy campaign manager Rick Gates and two campaign advisers to Vice-President Mike Pence, Nick Ayers and Marty Obst. RelatedThe large — and so far title-less — group of founders is aimed at quelling reports of dissension among campaign advisers who did not go into the White House. Republican donors Robert and Rebekah Mercer, who finance a data research shop called Cambridge Analytica, have been mulling starting a separate non-profit. “We’re trying to capture all people who believe in the Trump agenda.”Obama also started a non-profit group, called Organizing for Action, to back his agenda.
