Not only is CNN “employee” Cory Lewandowski still on the Trump payroll, but he is also in daily contact with the Republican presidential nominee.

Each day, Trump wakes up, usually in his Fifth Avenue penthouse, and has a routine round of calls, sources say, that includes his campaign leadership (which has changed in recent weeks), his children, some close allies and someone else quite frequently: Lewandowski.

The ABC report is especially damaging because it states that Trump has ordered that Lewandowski is given full security clearance at any rally he attends and that the former campaign manager was “running the show” at a recent Trump rally in New Hampshire.
CNN’s credibility as a journalistic organization is damaged every time they put Lewandowski on the air without disclosing his current ties to the Trump campaign.
