They quoted longtime Trump consigliere Roger Stone about her efforts to make him take the presidential plunge, saying "He always wanted to run. She is the one who pushed him to run just by saying run or do not run. I don’t think she was ever too crazy about it. And I think she understood he was going to be unhappy if he didn’t run.”
