Former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said Friday that President Obama may meet as soon as next week with donors to the nonprofit group that has sprouted from the remnants of his reelection campaign.
The possible meeting comes as watchdog groups and Republicans have accused the White House of selling access to the president through the outside group, Organizing for Action (OFA), which accepts unlimited individual donations.
“There will be events where our supporters are briefed about what the president is doing, but look, the president has laid out a very clear agenda. This organization’s only goal is to help the president lay out that agenda,” Messina told CBS News on Friday.
Asked specifically if the president would attend a “founder’s summit” next week in Washington, Messina responded, “We’ll see.”
“The president will do what he did during the campaign, which is communicate to his grassroots supporters and ask for their help,” Messina said.
