The Trump Campaign Just Hired a Notorious Clinton Antagonist

David Bossie has devoted his career to bringing down the Clintons—and Donald Trump just hired him to help run his campaign.

There's no one in Washington (and perhaps the world) with a more encyclopedic knowledge of every Clinton scandal and conspiracy theory. Bossie, who will serve as Trump's deputy campaign manager, first made a name for himself during Bill Clinton's presidency, when he served as the chief investigator for the House committee that probed the Whitewater scandal and numerous other alleged Clinton misdeeds. Bossie was eventually fired from the committee for his overzealousness, and he went on to run a conservative nonprofit group called Citizens United, where he continued to amass an enormous opposition research file on the Clintons. Now Trump has finally given him a platform to launch his assault.
