IMPEACHMENT/MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “After weeks of scoffing at the notion of bolstering their forces for the impeachment battle, White House aides and allies are now planning to add a top communications specialist to the team to help President Donald Trump fight back against the Democrats’ inquiry. Two names are under serious consideration for the job: Tony Sayegh, a former top Treasury aide, and Pam Bondi, the former Florida Attorney General. Sayegh led the White House’s dedicated communications effort for the Republican tax bill, which has been the Trump administration‘s star legislative achievement, and previously served as a Fox News contributor. Once under consideration for White House press secretary, he now works out of New York as a managing director at Teneo. Trump has long been a fan of Bondi, telling reporters last November ‘I’d consider Pam Bondi for anything’ as he weighed various shifts within his Cabinet.”
