Ouch.
According to Politico, some Trump insiders had turned against Lewandowski over an “error-filled appearance” on Fox News on Sunday:

This attack on delegates apparently was against the wishes of Trump’s new convention manager, Paul Manafort:

And adding to the Trump turmoil, political consultant Cheri Jacobus filed a defamation lawsuit against both Lewandowski and The Donald yesterday:

In the lawsuit, Jacobus accused Fox News of being in the tank for Trump:

Fox News — as you’d expect — denies the accusation:
