There were a lot of questions about who wrote the speech — but little clarity.
Sources familiar with the campaign’s handling of Melania Trump’s speech identify top Manafort deputy Rick Gates as the person inside the campaign who oversaw the entire speech process for Melania Trump.

Gates is denying he oversaw the process of putting together the speech.

When CNN’s Jim Acosta asked Gates if he oversaw the Melania Trump speech process, he said “absolutely not.”

Miller also denied Gates’ involvement.

“Rick’s not a speechwriter and he doesn’t have a role in the campaign’s speechwriting process — we have other people for that,” he said. “Anybody saying differently is being intentionally misleading.”
