Two of Donald Trump's political advisers, James Blair and Chris LaCivita, reportedly spent time in the Balkans advising a pro-Russian government in Bosnia seeking to tighten its grip on power, while Trump campaigned in Montana ahead of the midterm elections. Both men are said to be leading a major midterm advertising campaign for Trump's political operation, drawing criticism over the overlap between foreign political work and domestic campaign roles.
