President Donald Trump has sought to distance himself from two of his top political advisers after the New York Times reported that they had traveled to a Russia-aligned territory within Bosnia.
Trump has floated firing Chris LaCivita and James Blair, both described as among his top political operatives, following the New York Times report detailing their trip.
Limited Public Detail
The available information does not specify the purpose of LaCivita and Blair's trip to the Bosnian territory, the exact dates involved, or further comment from the two advisers themselves. It is also not clear what prompted Trump's public distancing beyond the New York Times report.
Both LaCivita and Blair have been identified as significant figures within Trump's political operation, making any reported controversy involving their travel notable within the broader context of the administration's political activities.
No additional detail on the Bosnia trip itself, including any official response from Bosnian authorities or the Russia-aligned territory in question, was available at the time of reporting.
