Blair and LaCivita jointly managed Donald Trump's successful 2024 presidential campaign and worked for his MAGA Inc. political action committee. According to the Washington Examiner and The Hill, the pair faced public criticism after reports revealed they had advised a pro-Russian political group in Bosnia and Herzegovina. [1][2][4]

The Washington Examiner reported that Donald Trump publicly distanced himself from the two advisers in a post on October 7. In the statement, Donald Trump emphasized that James Blair and Chris LaCivita were not his employees following reports about their advisory work in the Russia-friendly political territory. [1][4]
