“Hope was screaming at Corey, ‘I am done with you!’” one eyewitness told Page Six on Friday. “It was ugly, she was doubled over with her fists clenched.”
“He was stood there looking shocked with his hands on his head.”
The source said the fight was over how to handle the announcement that Paul Manafort had been promoted to chairman and chief strategist of Trump’s operation — a move some said could mean a less prominent role for Lewandowski. (RELATED: Paul Manafort Is Promoted To Chairman Of Trump Campaign)
“It was a campaign-related disagreement,” another source said.
“They were arguing how the announcement about Manafort taking more responsibility would be handled. There is an internal struggle to define what Corey’s role would be.”
A request for comment was not immediately returned by the campaign.
