- President Donald Trump is set to announce his campaign manager for his 2020 reelection.
- Trump's pick is reportedly Brad Parscale, who ran the Trump campaign's digital effort in 2016.
- Parscale is a person of interest in the Russia investigation.
President Donald Trump is set to name Brad Parscale, the digital director of Trump's 2016 campaign, as his campaign manager for his 2020 reelection effort, according to news aggregator Matt Drudge.
Parscale has emerged as an increasingly important figure among Trump's associates and received attention recently amid the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Parscale testified before the House Intelligence Committee in June 2017, and Democrats on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees subpoenaed documents as part of the probe.
A source previously told Business Insider that Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, was responsible for Parscale's vital role in the 2016 campaign.
"Jared got [Brad] hired, despite the fact that a number of people in the campaign wondered whether he had any idea what he was doing," the person said. "He's Jared's boy. I had [campaign] deputies telling me they couldn't question anything the guy did or said, and they were unhappy about that."
Parscale is currently serving as the digital media director for America First Policies, a nonprofit group whose aim is to bolster Trump's agenda.
Drudge said that Trump was set to officially announce Tuesday that he would run for reelection in 2020. The move, Drudge said, would come a record 980 days before the next Election Day.
