The campaign manager for presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is to leave his job.
A campaign spokeswoman said Corey Lewandowski would no longer be working on it and said the team was grateful to him “for his hard work and dedication”.
The exact reason for Mr Lewandowski’s departure is not yet clear but sources close to Mr Trump have told US media he was fired.
He oversaw the New Yorker’s unlikely triumph in the primary contests.
But his departure comes as the businessman faces strong resistance from senior members of his own party over his strident tone, hardline immigration policy and falling poll numbers.
