Biography

Healy Baumgardner (born 10 October 1979) is an American political advisor, who served as an advisor to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Baumgardner has advised several presidential campaigns, and served as a senior communications adviser and spokesperson for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Before her involvement with Trump, she served as deputy communications director for Rudy Giuliani’s 2008 presidential campaign. Although Giuliani initially led in national polls, he dropped out after the Florida primary. She also served as a press official and spokesperson for the Department of Energy in George W. Bush’s administration.

Baumgardner formed 45 Energy Group. This lobbying group has collected $250,000 from the government of Malaysia to arrange meetings between officials and $425,000 from a foreign group seeking support for an Uzbekistan ethane/methane project. The latter project became a focal point in the President Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry. Businessman Lev Parnas had recruited Baumgardner and Rudy Giuliani to create the perception that Trump lent his support. Giuliani planned to visit Uzbekistan in May 2019, but after Baumgardner learned the foreign group had ties with the Chinese government, the trip was canceled; had it proceeded, the two of them could have been required to register as foreign agents. As part of their inquiry into the Trump Administration’s dealings in Ukraine, the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, and Oversight and Reform Committees subpoenaed Giuliani for documents relating to the Uzbekistan project Baumgardner stated that the 45 Group was acting legally and ethically, and criticized the House Democrats for “unfairly targeting and harassing private citizens, like myself.”

Baumgardner attended Donald Trump’s 2020 Election Day party at the White House as a guest of Rudy Giuliani. On November 11, 2020, Bloomberg News reported that she had tested positive for Covid-19, as did several others who attended.
