, good job, corey. good job. >> reporter: today, donald trump's embattled campaign manager corey lewandowski is out. >> what happened? why were you fired? >> you know, i don't know. i don't know the answer to that. >> reporter: lewandowski's sudden departure coming on the heels of long-running tension between him and other trump insiders. the final straw, according to sources, trump family members finally had enough. trump's daughter ivanka and son-in-law jared kushner were n inappropria ininstrumental. but he says he has no hard feelings. >> i had a nice conversation with mr. trump. i said it's been an honor and a privilege to be part of this. i mean that, from the bottom of my heart. i think as you look at how small this team has been and how close-knit this team has been, it's really important to know that there are highs and lows in every campaign and we've been through them together and in order to be successful, we need to build that team and those relationships with the rnc and utilize the resour

with corey, i'm really proud of him. he did a great job but we're going to go a little bit of a different route from this point forward. >> i mean, it's almost like nothing happened. that was very positive, don't you think? >> it is great. >> everything's great. is that part of the problem? don't you think it sounded like nothing happened? >> yes, i do. and i think that he was reacting to, in fact, we both were told that he was very well aware and actually watched the interview that i did with corey lewandowski today and, you know, i think that's classic vintage donald trump. he saw how loyal corey remained to him and how positive and affirmative and, you know, effusive he was still, even just a couple of hours after he got fired as campaign manager. and he was returning the favor. >> you got the big scoop today. i could not take my eyes off the interview as i was getting ready. let's listen to this. >> from your perspective, what happened? why were you fired? >> i don't know. i don't know the answer to that, but what i

and corey even as corey and passive aggressive and sometimes aggressive aggressive and that situationan reported on that has that sustained way for a long period of time. this was not tenable. >> let's be honest, every campaign has tensions. >> not this time. not scolded. >> the two camps literally going to trump with opposition research. tensions about go doing television major need to be able to go on tv. i'm not saying this will solve every problem. they need to make a change for substantive and symbolic reasons. not too late but he waited a long time. now the question is given the change, is this going to have an impact on trump's fortunes? >> you made the turn into your own question, the segway into that. i think there is a chance this will change nothing. zero, nothing. nada of importance because as much as the mechanical stuff is important and you can't win a presidential campaign without having operations in the battle ground states and doing advertising and polling and an lit ticks, all of which again you need that stuff but the thing that's been delving the trump campaign is

we'll hear momentarily from corey lewandowski.e'll have his explanation of what happened. a lot of people are really interested. >> right. and i guarantee you, he's still going to defend donald trump and he's going to continue to be a donald trump booster. but i think it's clear what occurred and it will be interesting to see how he addresses this with dana is he did not have the family with him, wolf, and i think the family, particularly, ivanka and jared kushner, were not with him. and i think they made it very clear that they thought this campaign had not been well run. and that if they were going to win, they took a look at the last few weeks and how trump was plummeting in the polls and felt somebody needed to get a handle not only on the campaign but also on the candidate himself. >> because the assumption now, true or not true, there was a rivalry between corey lewandowski and paul manafort. called in to help donald trump get the nomination. >> lewandowski was known as letting trump be trump which unfortunately has allowed

corey was that guy most often.not interested in engageing trump on these battles, on these enterm battles. you mentioned the family. i think that was ultimately lewandowski's downfall here. you mentioned loyalty, when he start -- when the friction started happening with his children, the loyalty to family is going to trump so to speak, anything with the campaign manager. >> we know new polling shows hillary clinton has a seven point lead new polling over donald trump. is this reboot really just way to repackage trump before the convention and also try to ward off any type of mutiny with delegates, shoreing up the fact that he is the best gop candidate? >> yeah. he's been able to hold off any of these delegate challenges so far. i would expect that to continue. but the polling, i think there is the key, right? we hear trump in televised interviews and his rallies constantly talking about polling. that's what he's like one-on-one as well. every question i asked him, he would bring back to polling and this slide in th

said i am the campaign manager even as corey had that title and corey insisted they were splitting the division of labor. passive aggressive and sometimes aggressive-aggressive. there is not a winning campaign that has that in a sustained way. this is not tenable. >> every campaign had tensions but this had a lot. the two camps literally going to trump with opposition research on the other cap saying do you notice about this group, this will hurt us. you need targets. the campaign manager need be someonego on tv without sniping at them. trump had to make a change to substantive and symbolic reasons. probably not too late. now the question is given the change is this going to have an impact on trump's fortunes? a nice turn into your own question. i think there's a chance this will change nothing. nothing of importance. as much as the mechanical stuff is important to -- and you cannot win without having operations and doing advertising and doing data analytics, you need all that stuff the thing that is bedeviling the trump campaign is stuff that donald trump is saying. it is stuff that i

i think we left in a good way with corey. we have a good relationship with corey. he has done something that's incredible. and, you know, i wish all separations of this nature went that well. >> you know, i would expect nothing less from any campaign, you know, the first thing when you start with a candidate is you ask is your family behind you. and so donald trump clearly has a very smart family, a very involved family and a very close family. >> right. >> so i would expect they're involved in almost every decision. because they're his best surrogates. he trusts them the most and listens to them the most. and for them to come out and say, look, we think you need to go in a different direction, of course he's going to listen to that and he should. >> without a doubt, they are his most important surrogates, his best surrogates, mark. no question about that. but you now have an inner circle. they don't have political experience. but they're the only ones he would listen to on this. if indeed he even did listen to him. they all had to gang up and go together. they hav

so some of the areas where corey lewandowski was responsible. this outreach to the gop. even the vp vetting process. now, we know that a law firm and well experienced lawyer is running the checking the vetting as it's called. corey lewandowski had as part of his portfolio handling the vp vetting, so that's a question that comes out of this as well. i think the bottom line is trump is someone who prides himself on loyalty. going against corey lewandowski at this point personally painful, but he recognized this was a professional imperative if he has any real shot at righting the ship and having a professional campaign going forward. jose. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you very much. we'll stay on top of this story and have much more on this big trump campaign shakeup. >>> first, a frantic call for help. trolling for a gig with braindrone? can't blame you. it's a drone you control with your brain, which controls your thumbs, which control this joystick. no, i'm actually over at the ge booth. we're creating the operating system for industry. it's called predix. it's gonna chang

>> i think corey is more donald's kind of guy. corey actually got him this far.. >> a good soldier. >> a very good soldier. >> i think donald looks for that. >> michael, thank you for your time this morning. >>> should we do the good stuff? >> please. >>> next. i'll give you everything i've got and then some. he gives a hundred and ten percent! i'm confident this 10% can boost your market share. feel me lois? i'm feeling you. boom! look at that pie chart. the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com. i have a resident named joyce, and i said "come to class,bout let's start walking together" and i said "and i bet you money you'll be able to do that senior walk". that day i said "ok it's me and you girl, me and you!" i said "if you need to stop, there's a bench we'll just hang out in the shade." she said "absolutely not! we are going to finish this race!" and we were the last ones in, but you know what? we finished the race. and she goes "desiree, i'll never quit walking. ever" >>> all right, this is a good, good stuff for you. >> okay. >> you came us, did us a fa

corey was not qualified to take him down that road. he could only do it with you she -- with corey. and much of the campaign occurs on the road with trump and trump was not in regular communication. it is difficult for anyone but corey to control or choose not to control what they did on on the road. they need someone to monitor his beaver every day. trump is watching a lot of cable news, he is reacting, he is tweeting. they need his message this and to go up. with corey controlling the rhythm of the road access to trump on the road that was not going to change. that needs to change along with every -- other things. >> there's always a problem between headquarters and the road. if they are in sync, things work well. if they are not in sync things are chaos. whatever you want to say, whatever corey is saying about paul, paul came into this campaign thinking he was going to run it. he said i am the campaign manager even as corey had that title and corey insisted they were splitting the division of labor. it was passive aggressive and sometimes aggressive-aggressive. there is not a win

corey lewandowski, we are learning more about that right now. he's been let go from the campaign, as we learned just within the last hour or so. we'll have more on that soon, but we want to take you right back to where be started. that is the new details we're learning about what gunman omar mateen said and what he did of course we know during that rampage. the fbi is just releasing printed transcripts of mateen's 911 calls from that night. my colleague, pete williams, is joining me now. pete, what more are we learning from these transcripts? >> quite a bit, thomas. turns out that the police negotiators talked to omar mateen for a total of 28 minutes. we don't learn a lot in the back and forth in the transcript of his 911 call that we didn't already know. he pledged support for isis. he identified himself as an islamic soldier. he told the negotiator to stop bombing syria and iraq and that's why he was here now. here's a couple of new things. he says there is a vehicle outside that has some bombs, just to let you know. you people are going to ge

corey lewandowski.ll remain to be seen who he will replace him with and what his tactics will be. for those of us who are principle conservatives, we personally are not convinced that mr. trump is not the right candidate. we opposed him on so many different issues and it had nothing to do with his campaign style or whether he got campaign managers or a ground game. to us, that's not the issue. it is not who manages the campaign, it is who the candidate is. that's what we are foecusing on. we got supporters across the country. if it was just a few voices, this would not be going anywhere. we are in contact of pockets of delegates and all across the country and almost every state that contacted us and said, we are on board with you and how can we join your movement, we want to help you to talk to other delegates. regina thomason, thanks so much, thanks for being with us. >> coming up, the most detailed information of the gunman's own word of the massacre in orlando. you are watching "andrea mitchell repor

. >> with corey, i'm proud of him. he did a great job. we are going in a different route. >> a different style. >> little different style. yeah. >> you know, it is interesting, eugene. i saw chatter on twitter yesterday pushing back on the idea that lewandowski was the problem. lewandowski was in charge when trump racked off a lot of wins in the primary and then it was when manafort came in and things went in the other direction. is this a wise idea for trump to change what worked for him up to this point? >> we hope so. it is what trump supporters would say. something has to change. something has to change if things continue to go the way they are. he will not recover the gap between himself and hillary clinton. it is interesting style was the most problematic. that is something trump is criticized on often. it seems like it is something he wants to see people on his top staff level take a different approach, but not himself yet. >> he said style, but maybe statements. look at some of the things he said recently. the

why did corey lewandowski get the boot? >> the main reason is we're moving into a new phase of the campaign. and we're moving to a focus on the general election. and as we do that, we're changing direction a little bit by who's at the helm, and donald trump thought that this was a good opportunity to do that and to set his sights on hillary clinton and to focus on that and be building and preparing more as we grow day after day after day and prepare for that general election, and that's what this is about, it's moving into a new phase of the campaign and preparing for that general election battle that he's fought so hard to get to. >> i guess the problem is the new direction is code in the corporate world. that means that you're fired. we don't think you're doing a good job. and i did hear him say, you know, say good things about donald trump today, so he doesn't seem bitter, but it does seem curious the way it happened. would you agree to that? >> i think, again, corey has brought mr. trump and the entire campaign through

joining me now is former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski. corey, nice to see you. appreciate your time on this day. the simple question out of the gates was why were you fired? >> peter, let's look at the campaign and where we are and what we've overcome already. donald trump entered this race a political novice, never having run for offers in any way, shape or form before, in 12 months he went from entering a race to becoming the republican nominee. during that process, he vanquished 17 opponents, run 37 states. >> all the more reason you should still be the campaign manager if you'd had such a successful run. what was the reason you were given and who communicated the news to you that you had been fired? >> i don't want to get into the details but this election moving forward is a binary choice. it's a choice between hillary clinton and donald trump for the presidency of this country. we have a person who has a proven track record of creating jobs in the private sector and can bring that knowledge to the public sector and a person who's lived off of the governmen

it was a tag team effort to dump corey lewandowski.f the equation is ivanka trump and jared kushner. absolutely right. jared kushner has been taking on a high profile and a role growing in importance in the last several weeks of this campaign and paul manafort i'm told by a couple of trump advisors went to donald trump and said, listen, it is either corey lewandowski or it's me. up until this point, ashleigh, you basically had the campaign split in two. corey lewandowski was the campaign manager and paul manafort serving as the campaign chairman. now i'm told paul manafort fully below donald trump, i'm told, as the chairman and just held a conference call with staff members within the last hour, ashleigh, and according to people on this conference call, it was pretty short and sweet, but essentially, paul manafort said, stay the course. we're going to keep going here but also wished corey lewandowski well. a bit of a kidney shot from paul manafort. it sounds like to corey lewandowski because no love lost between the two gentlemen. >> k

corey who was brilliant, i think really what happened is donald protected corey because corey was a dedicated and very good ally in the first part of the campaign and when he brought paul manafort on, they knew they would have a convention and needed a veteran hand to be there. at that point in time, corey was evolving and transitioning but when he got into this battery and assault situation out of loyalty, neither of them wanted to appear that was the reason corey would evolve into the next place. so it happens when it's supposed to happen. >> how do you get him to up the dialogue? you say this but today he was tweeting about crooked hillary. that's not upping the dialogue. you can't change donald. >> there are many questions whether donald trump will self-fund dorner said you have $200 million for donors to say you're putting enough of your skin in for us to get involved. you know about what he's worth than most and his character. is he going to put a lot more of his skin into this game. >> i think the answer is questiyes. i think he'll do what he needs to do. >> tom, thanks very much. >> t

he fired corey lewandowski that shocked many in the campaign. lewandowski had been with trump since the very beginning. sources say paul manafort will replace lewandowski as campaign manager. ali got the first interview with lewandowski right outside his apartment. >> reporter: were you surprised this morning when this happened? >> i don't know it's so much a surprise. i want to say how honored i am to be part of this team and a privilege to be part of the team. i now have the privilege of going back and spending time with my family the most important thing. i will continue to support donald trump in any endeavor he has. if i can play a role in this campaign whether formal or informal, that would be an honor to have and it's been an honor to be part of this campaign in the beginning has been great. >> the decision to oust lewandowski was reportedly trump's and reportedly told him in a direct meeting this morning and i asked if his campaign advisor was caught off guard? >> it was. but we all have the same goal, to get mr. trump into the white hou

corey's remains loyal to the candidate. i think his problem was with the people who worked for the candidate or the candidate's family quite frankly. who disagreed with his strategy and disagreed with his management style. i mean, another point that dana tried to keep hammering in was his management style. which is abrupt and difficult and i was told this morning, you know, people couldn't get any work done. it was a matter of his work product not getting done. the need to expand the campaign. and he denied all of that. and said, look, i'm tough and i expect a lot. but, you know, he denied every point that dana was making which other people numerous other people have made over the last months about corey and i think with trump there was finally a trau that broke the camel's back and may have been his daughter and son-in-law. >> major political news. everyone stand by. we have to take a quick break. we have got a lot more analysis coming up of da in's interview with the ousted campaign manager corey lewandowski. what he said

>> no, you won't get money from them. >> firing corey is an optics position. they have to get rid of the leadership that pushed them into doing what they were doing. in terms of the pac, trump has not been raising a lot of money. the super pacs are coming in because we haven't railed against the donors. charles: we are just a day away from the vote on whether britain will stay in the european union. we were born 100 years ago into a new american century. born with a hunger to fly and a passion to build something better. and what an amazing time it's been, decade after decade of innovation, inspiration and wonder. so, we say thank you america for a century of trust, for the privilege of flying higher and higher, together. ♪ kennetthis afternoon closinfor auditions? what's on that piece of paper? oh, miss maroney, your forehead! should not be doing anything. i just had botox. i know exactly what's happening! ah! whoa! this is a bad streaming experience.

corey lewandowski is not responsible. a, he accomplished a lot.rump, if we are being honest, drove his own train, to a huge degree. lewandowski may have been able to enable that but trump was guiding a lot of that. the demands of a general election are completely different and i think that's become clear to trump in a way that it was not before. what i heard a lot today from republicans was this was a great first step and i heard this across the board because lewandowski was controversial. he did antagonize a lot of people. there are some people who liked him but some who had issues with him. this has to be followed up by consistent behavior from trump himself. >> you can't fire the players. you can't get rid of trump. of course he did all of these things. what lewandowski did was enable it. he's created a tone and ten nor that said let trump be trump and letting trump be trump got him through the primary season but not through the general election. it was necessary to rein in trump. it's also important to indicate that change is coming. it's not

trump, who praised lewandowski after that incident. >> corey, good job, corey. >> reporter: didn't act until today, as he faced a perfect storm of bad news. down in the later post, being outspent in $23 million, and facing a gop on the verge of mutiny. now, chief rival, paul manafort takes his place. >> paul will be a great unifier. he has done it on a much bigger level. >> just minutes after, michael caputo tweeted "dingdong the witch is dead, and he resigned a few hours later." he was expected to serve in the convention. talking to peter alexander about trump's decision. >> i had a great conversation with mr. trump. it has been a privilege for me to serve the last 19 months on this campaign, the campaign that nobody gave us any credit on. i have a small part of that. i have no regrets. it has been an honor. i respect mr. trump. i respect him more so than any other person who has ever ran for this race. i can tell you, i will do everything possible through me and my friends and family to ensure donald trump is the next president of the united states. >> and last night, trump spoke out

rossman. >> there is always a suspicion around corey. not the last person with her. i'm sorry. i hope they find her as soon as possible and i am praying for her and her family. >> reporter: adding to the parents apts anger that say rossman is the one friend refusing to talk to them or investigators. he lost all apartment building. >> he had punches, caused him a temporary memory loss. >> reporter: do you buy that? >> no, i don't. i think it's a case of self-presentation. >> reporter: he knows more than he's saying? >> i'm not sure of anything. what i do know is there a complete lack of coroperation. and he was the one who spent the most time with lauren in the last hours of her being seen. >> reporter: he hasn't come forward to try to help? >> no, he's resisted. >> reporter: corey, brian ross from abc's "20/20." can we talk to you about lauren spierer. he has declined repeated requests toch why don't you talk to lauren's parents. >> this is private property. >> what else is under the surface about? i don't know. but i'm not to the point

corey lewandowski says he has no regrets.atch. >> i've had a great relationship with the family and i think i continue to do so. i think what you have is a transition in the campaign from a very very successful 37 state primary victory process to look to a bigger picture and that's okay. >> you're painting a nice picture of the trump campaign. if it was that great why wouldn't you still be the campaign manager. >> i'm proud of the campaign. i really am but i also understand the reality of building an infrastructure coupled with the rnc's 500 people on the ground. >> why couldn't you be the person to do it? >> i don't know the answer to that. >> biggest regret? >> on this campaign, nonprofessionally. >> it's good news that when reporter michelle fields filed a police report on battery after she says corey lewandowski grabbed her arm which the video shows him doing. joining me now is michelle fi d fields. great to see you. what's your thought? what was it upon seeing him fired? >> i'm not going to say that i was happy to see so

corey lewandowski was let go weeks before the convention.e the beginning. they were very close. after months of tension between his family he got a call saying his services were no longer needed. >> anybody to say the family was to blame. i don't agree with that. if i play a role in the campaign whether formal or informal that would be an honor for me to have. >> small, beautiful well unified campaign it worked well in the primaries. with corey i am proud of him he did a great job. we are going a different route. so far thor on friend tlirms. we will see about the campaign. >> there have been a lot of ups and downs along the way. there's a lot of loyalty. y when you have the presidency of the united states on the line it is for the future of our country for potentially 3 or 4 supreme court seats. everyone should look at this and say this is good. oo fox news says it boils down to a show down between lewandowski and campaign chief paul motherianafort. he said it is either him or me. now manafort is in control of the campaign. >> see how much

so it makes sense to shift from corey lewandowski to paul. the coverage of the firing shows the bias in the media. the amount of attention that it got when you have former hillary clinton staffer who pled the 5th 150 times, and new revelations on the maim -- e-mail server but donald trump firing campaign manager which is standing operating procedure dominates the headlines. that shows the bias in the media. >> corey lewandowski is a character himself, generating a lost controversy with the allegations that he man handled a reporter. >> but that was overblown. >> it might have been but now where all the controversy blown up he was someone who people had a last and n >> controversies regard him and not hillary clinton is the problem. >> are saying in it were a faceless campaign america they could have moved on. >> now back to trump being in scott hand, in he was to promote the golf course but he was in a position of trying to be the global statesman and got into it with a couple of reporters including a british reporter said he could be toxic.

corey lewandowski, no campaign experience. to win in a general election, you have to have people that have run campaigns before. a man is just hired on the campaign, a veteran of many campaigns including two of my father's. things like that ease my concerns right now. people like me like veterans of politics. we're going up against hillary clinton who has an absolute juggernaut of a campaign, and we need people who, quite frankly, aren't just controversial campaign managers who are best known for man handling reporters. >> i wonder if the timing is influential here. hillary clinton is about to be able to spend a billion dollars. she's got 875 employees. we don't know what donald has, he has fewer than 100 employees. the convention is two or three weeks away. he's been the presumptive nominee now for seven weeks. i don't know why this happened now unless it's been a game of thrones gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. this ding dong the witch is dead sounds like a gag, but it's very important. corey lewandowski -- according to charlie gaspa

corey lewandowski's model had been let trump be trump and it worked for him. they won the primaries and part of the reason i'm told donald trump did not let him go sooner is they were winning. no reason to fix him and it wasn't broken. now the past few weeks donald trump has been slipping in polls and being out spent $23 million to zero in battle ground states by hillary clinton and he's facing a mute within the republican for and i'm told e v ivonka had a big say even before he assaulted a reporter in march. today was the day they got their message through to their father and today was a day he saw it was a problem and he needed to make a change before this campaign sputtered even more. >> katy, one more quick question to you because you talked there about the trump children who have been all over the news cycle today as being unflu we think so l. at the end of the day candidates make the decisions. do you get a sense from your reporting and talking to folks in the campaign, do they think the problem was the campaign apparatus and corey lewandowski not doing

. >>> plus, senator corey booker on tonight's big gun safety vote. and the united states of trump. >> he has leverage with every country. >> an inside look at the voters who took over the republican party. >> i keep telling myself that i'm kind of scared of him, but then again, i'm kind of -- think that's what we need. >> when "all in" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. amid a string of bad polling, simmering conflicts within the republican party, and signs his campaign is nowhere near prepared to take on hillary clinton in the general election, today donald trump offered up a sacrificial lamb to placate anxious republicans. campaign manager corey lewandowski, who's been with him since the very start of his presidential bid, this morning trump fired lewandowski, having him escorted by security from trump tower. it's the outcome of a long power struggle within the campaign between inexperienced or relatively inexperienced loyalists like lewandowski, who's insisted on a hands-off strategy of letting trump be trump, and m

donald trump abruptly firing campaign manager corey lewandowski. i am melissa in for jenna. >> and i am eric shaun in for jon scott. trump and lewandowski partied ways and as that gathering looms, the gop seems no closer to uniting behind the presumptive nominee. house speaker paul ryan said he will not tell fellow republicans they have to vote for trump. >> the last thing i would do is tell anybody to it do something contrary to the conscience this is a unique nominee. >> hillary clinton is criticizing trump's building record and rolling out a ad campaign. >> carl is standing by. and start with jennifer griffin on the latest on the democratic. and we'll first go to blake. >> reporter: corey lewandowski has scribbled let trump be trump. and now trump has spoken. corey lewandowski controversial manager is no longer with with the campaign. there are report was inupon fighting from lewandowski who was with trump from day one and paul manafort. they were both locked in a my way to the highway. and manafort was willing to walk within 48 hours and the tr

the other was friction between corey lewandowski and paul manafort on the campaign. and the third part i think was that his children, ivanka in particular being very emphatic about it as well as her husband jerod kir shall ner, went to donald trump and said this isn't working. this isn't working. i think the family was really behind it, trying to point things out to trump that perhaps he hadn't seen. i think in the end he listened to them, but it was a campaign that was falling behind
