A former associate of Donald Trump and a Republican candidate for governor in Kentucky have sued each other over an alleged breach of contract for campaign consulting services.
Corey Lewandowski — who served as campaign manager for Trump in 2016 and later ran his super PAC — was hired in March as a campaign adviser by gubernatorial candidate Eric Deters, receiving more than $34,000 in payments through the end of April, according to campaign finance filings.
However, the relationship between the two began to sour at some point in May and June, with Lewandowski suing Deters for breach of contract in federal court on Monday, and Deters filing a breach of contract countersuit against Lewandowski in Kenton Circuit Court early Tuesday.
Lewandowski's lawsuit — filed in the Eastern District of Kentucky in Covington by attorney Christopher Wiest — alleges Deters is in breach of their contract by not paying him more than $36,000 owed for his services after Lewandowski notified him June 1 he was terminating the agreement at the beginning of July.

Lewandowski is also suing Deters over claims of defamation, portraying him in a false light and tortious interference with business relations over a 6-minute video he posted Monday on YouTube ripping Lewandowski over various matters, including allegations that he did not fulfill his contractual obligations and provided poor services.
