What were Trump operatives doing for pro-Russian politician Dodik in Bosnia?

Reports that Trump aides were paid to advise Bosnian Serb leader ahead of parliamentary election raise alarm.

An image has surfaced online showing Katie Wiles, the daughter of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, accompanying a pro-Russia politician in Republika Srpska. This territory, led by Milorad Dodik, is the Bosnian-controlled region. The photo, shared by conservative activist Evi Kokalari, shows Wiles holding a rifle and standing next to Željko Budimir, who has been identified as the interior minister of Republika Srpska.

CBS News has verified the image and confirmed that it was taken in the summer. Wiles, a partner at Continental Strategy, a political lobbying firm, had traveled to the region for a feasibility study as part of her work for a U.S.-based company.
