Trump’s diversity coalition was founded last year by... attorney Michael Cohen, executive vice president of The Trump Organization. Cohen, angered by people calling Trump racist, called Scott, the Cleveland pastor, and asked Scott to be CEO of the coalition. When Scott helped organize a Trump event in Atlanta, Bruce LeVell came on board. Since then, LeVell has become a regular on TV news, Trump’s plane, and in debate spin rooms. The coalition’s main task is advocating for Trump in the media; members also have staged some campaign events in black neighborhoods.
...Scott and his wife and co-pastor, Belinda, ran the streets using and selling drugs until they found God in 1981.
...The Scotts insist that they have nothing to gain from supporting Trump – but that the black community could benefit from them having a seat at Trump’s table if he wins.
