Clinton's campaign and has a unique perspective on just how unconventional this election year already is," said John Moody, FNC exec veep of news editorial. "He has proven himself on key campaigns throughout the last decade and is recognized as one of the top communications and political thinkers in the Democratic Party. We look forward to benefiting from his insight during the general election campaign and beyond."

Wolfson will also resume his work as a partner with the Glover Park Group, a D.C. firm specializing in political advertising, lobbying, public relations and crisis management, according to the Center for Media and Democracy.
