Trump campaign chief claims he visited Australia to advise Liberals at start of election campaign

Chris LaCivita, a key figure in Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, unexpectedly visited Australia to advise Liberal Party candidate Peter Dutton ahead of the federal election. Working as an unpaid private consultant during his brief visit, neither for Trump nor the Dutton campaign, details about his connections to Trump's inner circle were leaked by Correctiv and the Centre for Climate Reporting. This visit underscores the complex web of political relationships in both Australia and the U.S. during a critical election year.
