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.
Trump has long been a fan of Bondi, telling reporters last November that “I’d consider Pam Bondi for anything,” as he weighed various shifts within his Cabinet. Sayegh led the White House’s dedicated communications effort for the Republican tax bill, which has been the Trump administration‘s star legislative achievement. Both Bondi and Sayegh have been frequent presences on cable news, with Sayegh once serving as a Fox News contributor.
The president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, has a good relationship with both, said a person familiar with the search. The White House hopes to hire the communications guru as early as next week.
