Omarosa: Backstabber or Whistleblower?
Former
Apprentice star Omarosa Manigault Newman is back in the news! And with her return to the spotlight, she is
unleashing a tell-all about her time in the Trump administration.
A little more than a year ago, multiple news articles questioned Omarosa’s purpose in the White House. Most people surmised her high paying position as an Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison was due to her unyielding loyalty to Donald Trump throughout the years.

Fired by White House Chief of Staff
So when she was abruptly fired by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, most were surprised. And it did not take long before tales of her firing started to swirl in the media.
One report, which was later denied by Omarosa, claimed she was out of control. She allegedly had to be physically removed from the White House after she attempted to storm the president’s residence to appeal her firing.
Refusing to keep quiet and wanting to clear the air, Omarosa shocked the country when she released audio recordings via MSNBC last week.
The first audio recording was of her actual firing. In the recording John Kelly can be heard saying the following,
“It’s come to my attention over the last few months that there’s been some pretty, in my opinion, significant integrity issues… there’s some money issues and other things, but from my view the integrity issues are very serious.”
At no point did Omarosa sound out of control on the recording.
More Audio Recordings
After releasing the first recording, she released two more. One was with, the President’s daughter in-law, Lara Trump. On the recording, Lara can be heard offering Omarosa a large sum of money for a campaign position.
Before mentioning money, Lara Trump is heard saying,
“It sounds a little like, obviously, that there are some things you’ve got in the back pocket to pull out. Clearly, if you come on board the campaign, like, we can’t have, we got to.”
Later in the audio recording Lara Trump can be heard explaining how Omarosa can be paid $15,000 a month. Omarosa claims that the $15,000 dollars per month job offer from Mrs. Trump was meant to buy her silence and censor her speech after she was released from the White House.
In the third recording President Trump appeared unaware of the fact that Omarosa was let go. He can be heard saying,
“Omarosa, what’s going on? I just saw on the news that you’re thinking about leaving? What happened? Goddamn it. I don’t love you leaving at all.”
A Complete 180
Shortly after news broke of Omarosa’s tell-all, President Trump’s sentiments took a complete 180 turn. He tweeted:
“When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!”
There has been a lot of public disagreement with the President of the United States (POTUS) on calling Omarosa a lowlife and a dog. People have labeled him a bigot and racist, claiming that he only said these things because Omarosa is African American.
