Individuals Trump has conferred with include Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Eric Schmitt (R-MO), as well as former Trump White House official Stephen Miller; Ric Grenell, Trump\u2019s former director of national intelligence; Kellyanne Conway, former White House counselor; and Thomas Homan, former director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As host of the first presidential debate, CNN announced that Independent Presidential candidate Robert F.
