WASHINGTON--Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams announced Sunday that Mark Penn was cut from his role as chief strategist of the campaign, with the decision to move out one of Clinton's most controversial aides coming after he met with Colombia's ambassador to the U.S. to talk about promoting a bilateral trade agreement Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton opposed.
Penn has been a longtime adviser to Clinton, with his status secure in the campaign -- until now -- because of his strong relationship with former President Bill Clinton. The rumpled, outspoken Penn, often the voice and face of the Clinton campaign, served two functions for Clinton -- as a strategist and pollster.
