Advisers to United States President Donald Trump have donated six-figure consulting fees from a contract in Bosnia and Herzegovina to Trump's presidential library, the New York Post reported on Friday. The funds came from work completed by election advisers Chris LaCivita and James Blair. The New York Post reported that a source said Donald Trump expressed satisfaction in private conversations after learning about the donation. [1]

Balkan Insight previously reported that Trump associates had attended a rally for a Bosnian Serb nationalist party. The consulting work in Eastern Europe created initial tension with Donald Trump, according to the New York Post. LaCivita previously served as chief operating officer at the Republican National Committee and managed the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertising campaign in 2004. [1][8][9]

The United States president accused James of disrespecting the national anthem after the athlete practiced movements during its performance ahead of a basketball game on Tuesday, according to reports by Fox News, UPI, and the BBC.
