Banned at Trump Properties Donald Trump

After a GOP donor accused Corey Lewandowski of sexual misconduct late last month, the former top aide and confidant to ex-President Donald Trump didn’t just lose his cushy job leading a pro-Trump super PAC. He was also fenced off socially—quietly blacklisted at several Trump properties and clubs, MAGA events, and private social gatherings, especially if alcohol is served, The Daily Beast has learned.

The temporary directive, which three people familiar with the matter said came with Trump’s personal blessing, was handed down shortly after a big Republican donor accused Lewandowski of sexually assaulting and harassing her over the course of an evening at a late-September charity function. In recent days, two of these sources said, Trump has made a point of telling close associates and Republican allies that they should avoid inviting Lewandowski to public events or “parties,” particularly if alcohol is flowing or if the event is held at one of the ex-president’s prized private clubs.

Others close to Trump have already told subordinates, as well as fellow players in the party and in the conservative movement more broadly, to remove Lewandowski (at least for now) from invitations and emails for upcoming GOP and MAGA festivities, according to two sources familiar with the situation. The message was also delivered in texts and an email viewed by The Daily Beast.

One text message instructed fellow Trump associates to simply turn Lewandowski away, or alert security, if he showed up to events in the foreseeable future.

Although the news of blackballing the once-top Trump adviser rocketed across MAGAworld, Lewandowski—who has long been loathed throughout prominent MAGA and GOP circles, as well as within Trump’s own family—apparently had not been informed until contacted for this article.

As it became clear that the sexual misconduct allegations were fatal to his then-position leading the only Trump-endorsed super PAC, Lewandowski began demanding a hefty six-figure payout in exchange for quietly departing his leadership role.

That rankled the notoriously tight-fisted Trump, who has in the last two weeks privately expressed how disappointed he was by Lewandowski’s attempt to use his alleged transgression to shake loose some cash for himself on the way out the door, according to several people familiar with the former president’s reaction.

Lewandowski’s request wasn’t without precedent, however. He had previously successfully negotiated a plush monthly severance after his dismissal from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign—an ousting which also stemmed from an allegation of assaulting a woman.

The Daily Beast reported last week that the attempted shakedown had immediately and categorically failed, with the other members of Lewandowski’s months-old super PAC, called “Make America Great Again Action,” abandoning that group to start a new one, “Make…
