Lewandowski denied that Trump or the campaign had given the green light to Make America Great Again.

“Unlike other campaigns, we don’t have a quote-unquote designated super PAC that we tell people to give money to,” he said.

In a later interview, he threatened to file a lawsuit if The Washington Post reported that Trump had given the group his blessing.

“I want to be crystal clear,” Lewandowski said. “There is no sanctioned super PAC.”

Trump did not respond to requests for comments made through Lewandowski and communications director Hope Hicks.
