2016 ELECTION/CAMPAIGN/INTELLIGENCE/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump’s campaign digital director, Brad Parscale, will be interviewed Tuesday [10-24-17] by the House Intelligence Committee, his first appearance before any of the panels examining the issue of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Mr. Parscale confirmed his scheduled appearance. The Senate committees also probing interference haven’t scheduled time with Mr. Parscale, he said, declining to comment further.
In a recent interview with the CBS program ’60 Minutes,’ Mr. Parscale said no one from the campaign collaborated with foreign entities. ‘It’s just a joke,’ Mr. Parscale said.
Mr. Parscale was the Trump campaign’s highest-paid vendor. His San Antonio firm, Giles-Parscale, drew nearly $88 million for about 18 months of work, according to Federal Election Commission disclosures.
Mr. Parscale, who had never done any political work before joining Mr. Trump’s campaign, has remained involved with the president’s political efforts. He helped start a nonprofit committee called America First Policies and a super political-action committee working alongside it. He also works on Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign, which began when the president was inaugurated.”
