Donald Trump aide Corey Lewandowski was ousted from the former president's inner circle after a woman accused him of assaulting and stalking her in 2021, but in August Trump rehired Lewandowski to help with his presidential campaign. Now, Trashelle Odom, who accused Lewandowski of misconduct, is speaking out in an interview with CBS News national correspondent Nikki Battiste.

Lewandowski asked about meeting with Sessions

Representative Karen Bass, a Democrat of California, pressed former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on why he didn't want to leave a "paper trail" of his meeting with then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Lewandowski said it was because he wanted to "speak with Jeff in a more relaxed atmosphere." During the hearing, Lewandowski confirmed that President Trump wanted Sessions to say publicly that the president "should not have a special prosecutor in the Russia investigation because he hasn't done anything wrong."
