According to a report, Donald Trump doesn't trust the rising Republican star Rep.
According to the New York Times, there are two sources close to Trump who don't like her. They didn't give their names.
The Times wrote about her transformation from a moderate Republican to one of Trump's most vocal supporters.
The Times reported that at a press conference in May, she adopted a label from President Joe Biden as an insult.
She backed up Trump's claims that the election was rigged. Despite his work to promote democracy in other countries, that effort was still made.
She called the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago part of a Russia hoax.
Her jibe was a reference to the investigation into Trump's campaign.
According to The Times, Trump was entertained by the spectacle of Stefanik defending him in public, but found an ulterior purpose.
There were stories in the media about a possible running mate for Trump.
CNN reported in May that Stefanik was being discussed as a potential running- mate, leading to a number of other articles discussing the possibility.
Forbes and The Atlantic mentioned her as a potential pick, but didn't say anything about Trump or his associates.
According to The Times, this was met with "bemusement and mockery" by Trump and his allies, who think that the stories were put together by the team of Stefanik.
Insider made a request for comment from Trump and Stefanik, but they didn't reply.
