Republican presidential front- runner Donald Trump today launched a team which will help him to reach out to his party lawmakers in the House of Representatives.

Trump announced that Congressmen Duncan Hunter and Chris Collins will serve as co-chairs of his campaign's US House Leadership Committee.

"Hunter and Collins will lead outreach efforts to their fellows Members of Congress in support of Mr Trump's message to Make America Great Again," said a statement issued by the Trump Campaign.

Hunter and Collins are conservative stalwarts, Trump said.

"I am honoured to have the support of these two well respected Members of Congress who share my vision of securing our borders, strengthening our military, treating our veterans with the respect and care they deserve and putting Americans first again," he said in a statement.
 

Earlier in the week, he announced that his campaign will be opening a Washington DC-based office to coordinate his campaign's work with the Republican National Committee, Congress, and his convention and delegate operations.
