Donald Trump’s most recent digital hire appears to have been a short-lived one.

Vincent Harris, an Austin-based Republican digital strategist, issued a series of posts Thursday on Twitter explaining that he and his firm had “completed our various creative projects” for the presumptive Republican nominee. His social media posts followed a report in Fast Company that he had been fired for leaking the news of his own hiring.


“We were not fired,” Harris countered on Twitter.

“While out of pocket & on vacation w my wife, someone leaked our involvement w/ Trump. The leak did not come from me or us,” Harris wrote. “Not sure where leak came from but lots of people on campaign, from large tech companies, & RNC knew we were doing work for Trump's agency.”

POLITICO first reported on Tuesday that Harris and his firm Harris Media had been hired to help Trump’s digital operation in an undefined role, working with Trump’s digital director, Brad Parscale, whose firm is located nearby in San Antonio, Texas.

“Harris Media was engaged as subcontractor to do various project work for Trump’s digital agency of record. Nothing more or less,” Harris wrote on Twitter.

The Trump campaign declined to comment. Harris, who handled digital strategy earlier in the 2016 cycle for Sen. Rand Paul’s presidential campaign, declined to comment beyond his Twitter posts.

One source close to the Trump campaign said of Harris: “He is gone.”

“I wish all involved good things! have reflected & learned from this commotion,” Harris wrote. “Very proud of Harris Media team and our continued groundbreaking work for candidates and causes in USA and globally!"

He ended his tweetstorm citing Psalm 107:1.
