Manafort remains with the campaign. “It’s an indication that this campaign, as negative as it has been, is going to be even more so going forward”. “Polish is taking a back seat to populism – he’s not going to be the candidate of discipline, he’s going to be the candidate of disruption”.

The shake-up comes with the campaign set to launch its first major television ads this week and with chairman Paul Manafort under fire in the press after being named in a Ukrainian corruption scandal.
Clinton met with law enforcement leaders in New York City days after Trump accused her of being “against the police” following a police shooting in Wisconsin.
