Washington – Omarosa Manigault Newman on Thursday released another secret audio tape that she says proves President Donald Trump wanted to silence her after firing her from the White House.

In the tape played on MSNBC, Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, offers Manigault Newman a job earning $15,000 a month. The job wouldn’t require her to report to any particular office or have a specific set of duties, other than to speak positively on Trump’s behalf as part of his re-election campaign.
Lara Trump, married to Eric Trump, can be heard on the tape noting a report in The New York Times that suggested Manigualt Newman had inside information that could be damaging to Trump.
“It sounds a little like, obviously, that there are some things you’ve got in the back pocket to pull out,” Lara Trump said. “Clearly, if you come on board the campaign, like, we can’t have, we got to … ”
Manigault Newman interjects: “Oh, God no.”
“Everything, everybody, positive, right?” Lara Trump asks.
The secret recording is one of several Manigault Newman has released this week to back up her claims in her new book, “Unhinged.”
A former contestant on his TV show “The Apprentice,” Manigault Newman was one of Trump’s most prominent African-American supporters during his campaign. He hired her to be a White House assistant, earning $179,000 a year as director of communications for the White House office of public liaison.
But she was deeply disliked by many of her colleagues and eventually was ousted by Trump’s chief of staff, John Kelly, for “significant integrity issues.”
According to other recordings released this week, Trump appeared to be in the dark on her December 2017 firing. And Kelly suggested “if we make this a friendly departure … you can go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation.”
Manigault Newman alleges there is a tape of Trump using a racial slur while working on “The Apprentice.” Trump denies this, and has lashed out at his former aide on Twitter, calling her “wacky and deranged,” ”not smart,” and a “dog.”
Not much of a story. She was being hired to say nice things about Trump as a way to make sure she didn’t bad-mouth him. Sleazy but not illegal.
Anyone with half a brain (excludes the dems/libs, TDS people, and mainstream media) knows how lacking in credibility she is, especially since on,y a week before she came out with this book ripping Trump with her fake stories (debunked by people who worked closely with her, yes even black people), she was saying he mist definitely is not a racist.
How can Trump call her wacky, deranged, not smart, and a dog and no one cares, but the fact that maybe in the past he used a racial slur, they get all excited about that possibility to call him out. The guy is a prost menuval, but has a great business head and doesn’t care what people say about him. I would not vote him for his upper class language or what he does in his private life but as a businessman to run the country.
very cheap
why did not offer real money
or a nice penthouse in their bld in new york
To: #4 - I believe her; I read her book, and I found her allegations credible. One cannot believe that continuous lies which come out of the White House, and the dumb excuses from Sarah Sanders, and Kellyanne Conway. In the book, Trump even called Kellyanne’s Conway’s husband a slur, because of his Filipino heritage. He called him a FLIP, which means “f—–g little island people”.
he should divorce Melania and marry Omarosa
If she is such a dumb incompetent terrible person what does it say about the Orange Yutz who hired her in the first place???
