David Bossie
David Norman Bossie (born November 1, 1965) is an American political activist. Since 2000, he has been president and chairman of conservative advocacy group Citizens United and in 2016, Bossie was the deputy campaign manager to the Donald Trump presidential campaign.
Subsequently, Bossie had a falling-out with the Trump campaign and administration in May 2019 after Axios reported that Bossie had been accused by the Internal Revenue Service of defrauding political donors by funneling their donations to himself through consultants and book sales. In January 2020 he returned to prominent association with the Trump administration as a strategic ally to help contest the impeachment of Donald Trump based on his past familiarity with impeachment battles.
In 1992, Bossie joined Citizens United as a researcher, during which time Citizens United produced many films promoting Republican perspectives and talking points. Later in the 1990s, Bossie had a troubled turn as congressional investigator. Bossie was hired by the chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform and new Oversight in 1997 as chief investigator to look into possible campaign finance abuses by U.S. President Bill Clinton. In May 1998, bipartisan concern mounted over inappropriate redaction of tapes and transcripts of former U.S. Associate AG Webster Hubbell's prison telephone calls omitting some exculpatory passages. Newt Gingrich pressed for Bossie's resignation, which followed shortly thereafter.
In 2010, Bossie produced the American documentary film Generation Zero for Citizens United Productions, written and directed by Steve Bannon, which attributes in some measure the origins of the 2008 financial crisis to moral failings of the Baby Boom generation, in particular their turning away from parental values during the countercultural 1960s. Bossie has written several books attacking Democratic rivals, including John Kerry, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton, as well as a political memoir co-authored with Corey Lewandowski concerning Donald Trump's successful 2016 presidential campaign.
In June 2018, Bossie, a regular guest on Fox News programs, made a statement to a fellow guest which was an insult to African-Americans; he later apologized. Fox News suspended him for two weeks, calling the remarks "deeply offensive and wholly inappropriate".
Bossie grew up in Massachusetts. He attended Towson State University and the University of Maryland, but dropped out before graduation. When he was 18 years old, he volunteered in Ronald Reagan's reelection campaign.
A volunteer firefighter in his youth, Bossie dropped out of university to pursue politics. Bossie was the youth director of Senator Bob Dole's 1988 presidential campaign.
After the Republicans won control of the United States House of Representatives in the 1994 elections, Dan Burton (R-IN) became chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform and new Oversight. In 1997, he hired Bossie as chief investigator to look into possible campaign finance abuses by U.S. President Bill Clinton.
