Ex-Trump campaign manager says hiring of Breitbart chairman shows Trump wants to 'win at all costs

Former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on Wednesday told CNN that appointing Breitbart News chairman Steve Bannon as campaign CEO was an indication of how serious the Republican presidential nominee was about winning.When Lewandowski was asked whether he was surprised that Trump brought Bannon on as CEO, he replied, "I think what you have is you have a candidate who wants to win.""This is a clear indication of that," Lewandowski said.
