- Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a retiring senator, condemned a report that two consultants to President Trump received a "large profit" from advising a pro-Russian government in the Balkans during the U.S. midterm elections cycle.
- Tillis serves as co-chair of the Senate NATO Observers group, a role he cited in his Wednesday criticism of the consultants' work for the Russia-aligned Bosnian entity.
Why it matters: A retiring Republican senator publicly attacking consultants tied to the sitting president over profiting from Russia-aligned work — during an active midterm cycle and from a NATO-focused seat — signals intra-party friction over foreign influence that GOP incumbents in tight races may have to answer for.
