Trump's Political Director Rick Wiley Out After 6 Weeks
Source: NBC News
Trump National Political Director Rick Wiley is no longer with the team, the campaign confirmed in a statement late Wednesday night.
When asked if WIley resigned or was fired, spokeswoman Hope Hicks said that the "statement stands alone."
A Trump campaign source with knowledge of the decision told NBC News that Wiley was largely uncommunicative with field staff that were in place long before he was hired. "He never really got the read for this campaign," the source said, referencing the campaign's culture.
The same source added that Wiley treated some staffers hired by Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski as if they were "the B-team."

I was taught that a few is essentially 3 so 3 months is 12 weeks. But it was 6 weeks actually...
They just don't stop lying, even about the smallest things....
Excuse my link to Faux but its just for comedic purposes:

"Donald Trump's presidential campaign announced Wednesday night that it had parted ways with its national political director Rick Wiley just a few months after he was hired."
