Washington Post Reporter: Manafort was NOT forced out of Trump campaign

Washington Post reporter Robert Costa tells MSNBC that Manafort was not forced out of the Trump campaign, that he chose to resign:

Costa says that Manafort was never meant to be a chief strategist, that he was simply brought in to manage the convention. But considering how Lewandowski was failing, Manafort assumed that role. But considering the recent new hires this week, Manafort didn’t really fit in any longer and, along with the new revelation surrounding his dealings with pro-Russian forces in the Ukraine, he felt it was time to leave and offered his resignation.
