Trump says of aides’ reported aid to Republika Srpska government: "any idea who else they work for"

Donald Trump distanced himself from two senior figures in his political operation after reports that Chris LaCivita, who helped run his 2024 presidential bid, and James Blair, an adviser to his campaign and a White House deputy chief of staff currently on leave, traveled over the weekend to aid the Russia-aligned government in the Balkan entity of Republika Srpska. Trump said he would dismiss them immediately if he concluded a conflict of interest existed. The reports focus attention on the outside work of close campaign and administration advisers and on possible conflicts involving a foreign government.
