Although Lewandowski has allegedly been sidelined by Trump, the source said, it doesn&#8217;t mean he is out completely. In Trump&#8217;s world anyone can be replaced and anyone can be brought back when needed. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"newsletter_signup \">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-newsletter-widget embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-iframe\" data-ads=\"{\" wordcount=\"\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The move was first reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/07\/trump-aide-corey-lewandowski-sidelined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Guardian<\/a>, which said Lewandowski had caused rancor internally in the campaign by threatening to take over the Trump campaign and conducting an audit of co-chair Chris LaCivita&#8217;s handling of campaign funds. Sources told CBS News the audit threat has led to a power struggle between Lewandowski and LaCivita.<\/p>\n<p>Lewandowski has disputed the notion that his role has been diminished, writing via text message last week: &#8220;Not accurate. I will be with President Trump all weekend and for the next 23 days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He followed up with a phone call and told CBS News he is a volunteer on the campaign and always has been. &#8220;My job is to help make America great again and to help President Trump get elected,&#8221; Lewandowski said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lewandowski is a mercurial figure with a reputation for bare-knuckle campaigning. His approach is to &#8220;let Trump be Trump,&#8221; whatever that may bring. And on a personal level, in his years on the national political stage, he has faced a string of harassment accusations dating back to the former president&#8217;s first run. One of those accusers, Trashelle Odom, spoke to CBS News last week in <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/corey-lewandowski-accuser-trashelle-odom-stalking-assault\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">her first TV interview<\/a><\/span> about the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just broke down,&#8221; she said about learning of Lewandowski&#8217;s return to Trump&#8217;s inner circle. &#8220;I was very, very upset.&#8221; Odom also expressed concerns about what might happen to other women now that he &#8220;has his power back.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Odom, then the wife of a wealthy Republican donor, was attending a charity event at a Las Vegas hotel when she found herself sitting next to Lewandowski who she says targeted her that night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I felt like I was his prey,&#8221; she said. Soon, according to Odom, Lewandowski began touching her. &#8220;He was \u2026 putting his hands, like on my lap,&#8221; and he attempted to &#8220;just caress my leg and like going up my side and like, trying to touch my butt.&#8221; She said when she left the dinner, Lewandowski followed her through the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Odom reported Lewandowski to the police, and he was charged with misdemeanor battery but later reached an agreement with prosecutors to dismiss the charges in exchange for community service, a $1,000 fine, enrollment in an impulse control class and an apology in court to Odom for &#8220;any discomfort he may have caused her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked for comment, Lewandowski&#8217;s lawyers responded that the case had been dismissed, but they did not address Odom&#8217;s allegations.<\/p>\n<p>But years before Odom encountered Lewandowski, he had faced other accusations, including from one woman who told police he &#8220;slapped her buttocks against her will and without her consent&#8221; during a holiday party at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. The woman later declined to pursue charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In another episode, Lewandowski was seen on CCTV grabbing a reporter&#8217;s arm following a press conference in Florida. Following their investigation, authorities chose not to charge him, a point reiterated by his lawyers when asked for comment by CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Renewed scrutiny of Lewandowski&#8217;s history with women comes as the Trump campaign has been trying to attract female voters.
