Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is accusing Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee of attempting to derail his potential Senate campaign.In a recent interview, he said part of Democrats’ strategy in having him appear before the panel was to potentially prevent him from being successful in a U.S. Senate race in New Hampshire. He claimed House Democrats wanted him to go on camera and say things that Democrat operatives could use against him.However, Lewandowski said he believes the people of New Hampshire want to send a fighter to Washington, D.C. and want a change in the Senate.Corey Lewandowski, center, the former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, walks past White House lawyers after he finishes testifying to a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
