I’m in @Omarosa’s book on page 149. She claims to have heard from someone who heard from me that I heard Trump use the N-word.
Not only is this flat-out false (I’ve never heard such a thing), but Omarosa didn’t even make an effort to call or email me to verify. Very shoddy work.

Additional Details Regarding Omarosa
Over the weekend, Manigault Newman leaked a recording of herself with White House Chief of Staff John Kelly in the White House Situation Room. The recording lasts under a minute, and Kelly is heard telling Manigault Newman that they need to “talk about [her] leaving the White House.”
The White House chief of staff then goes on to cite “integrity issues” and the importance of a “friendly departure” for Manigault Newman.
When asked why she secretly recorded a Situation Room discussion, Manigault Newman answered, “People would still believe the false, incredible story that I was running around the White House. People would still think that I was trying to set off alarms. So yes, I recorded myself and I have no regret about it.”
Hours before Trump’s tweets, Manigault Newman also leaked a recording of a phone conversation with him. Throughout the discussion, the president expresses dismay and shock regarding Manigault Newman’s White House departure. Trump is heard stating that he’s “not at all glad” about the matter.
New Backlash
Since the inception of Manigault Newman’s book promotion and leaked recordings, she has faced notable backlash. Many critics have questioned the motivations behind her book, suggesting that she is seeking revenge for being fired. However, other Americans have more serious concerns.
