DeMint has been in contract negotiations, which are expected to be cut short, the sources said. An announcement about his future at Heritage is expected to come as early as Friday. His contract is up at the end of 2017, according to one board member. A GOP operative who works closely with Heritage said DeMint’s removal as president was imminent and that more changes are expected to follow. “There’s massive turmoil over there right now,” the operative said. Amid all of this, President Donald Trump praised DeMint by name during a speech to NRA members on Friday, calling DeMint “amazing” and “a real friend.”I may be wrong but the idea that there is turmoil at Heritage because under DeMint it is acting like a conservative nonprofit — instead of as an appendage of the corrupt Republican Party machine — is difficult to believe. And note the use of anonymous sources in the Politico article. I suspect it is more likely that fake conservative Republican lawmakers have been putting heat on Heritage along with some well-heeled squishy donors.

This would be an important first step to making Heritage great again. Sad direction the last few years. https://t.co/N16rKkAUlW
