Florida - Brad Parscale, who managed President Donald Trump's campaign for nearly 2 1/2 years until he was demoted in July, was hospitalised for his own safety afterwhile holding a handgun during a confrontation with his wife at his Florida home, local police said on Monday.
Fort Lauderdale Police Department reports from the incident reveal a grim and troubling picture of Trump's former campaign manager. His wife said Parscale had been drinking heavily, had been physically abusive toward her, and had been stressed and making suicidal comments for weeks. She also told police that he"suffers from PTSD," or post-traumatic stress disorder, without elaborating.
One of the officers wrote that when asked how she received the bruising, Candice Parscale"stated Brad Parscale hits her." "What are those bruises? Oh no, did he do that?" Behal asks, at the end of the police recording."Oh my gosh. Your arm - both your arms. Has he been hurting you?"In February 2018, Trump announced that Parscale, who had worked on his 2016 campaign as digital director, would serve as his 2020 campaign manager. But in July of this year, Parscale was demoted following accusations of profligate spending and anger from Trump over a June rally in Tulsa, Okla.
But Parscale had spoken to Trump in recent weeks and had returned to the campaign's Arlington, Virginia, headquarters for meetings. He also had helped put together some of the videos for the Republican National Convention last month. In a different statement Sunday, Murtaugh also offered support to Parscale, whom he called"a member of our family." But after the president had been briefed on the incident, Murtaugh updated his initial statement, using Parscale's personal situation as a cudgel to attack Trump's political rivals.
