Omarosa Manigault Newman claims 'false imprisonment' during her firing, accuses Trump of lying
The Los Angeles Times ^ | August 13, 2018 | Felicia Sonmez, The Washington Post

Omarosa Manigault Newman, the once-loyal aide to President Trump who has written a new tell-all book containing explosive allegations about her former boss, said Monday that she believes Trump was lying when he claimed in a phone call last December that he knew nothing about her dismissal by White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly.

In a combative appearance on NBC's "Today" show, Manigault Newman shared an audio recording of the phone conversation that she says she had with Trump the day after she was fired from his administration.

She also denounced the White House's handling of her firing, claiming the two-hour Situation Room meeting in which she was let go amounts to "false imprisonment."

"There is a complete organization between the two of them," Manigault Newman said of Trump and Kelly. "He probably instructed General Kelly to do it so that he could keep his hands clean when he spoke to me. I'm wondering, is he sincere?"

She added: "Is General Kelly running this country, or is the president running this country?"

The Washington Post had previously reported on Manigault Newman's account of the conversation with Trump the day after her firing. On the tape aired Monday morning, Trump is heard expressing surprise that Manigault Newman was fired....

I'm so old that I remember when that was a decent, credible newspaper and people didn't tape conversations in a secure compartmentalized information facility.

Trump had fired that backstabbing, self-serving POS more than once during “The Apprentice.” Why in the hell would he tolerate her presence in the White House? That one’s a mystery to me.

Why was she given a job in the White House to begin with?

She was a troublemaker on the Apprentice ( I didn’t even watch, but heard about it) it was stupid to bring her into the White House.

That she thinks attacking Trump is going to end well for her, shows that she hasn't been paying attention, and that she's not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is...

As with all of his other critics, Trump will expose Omarosa for the fraud and hack that she is, and she will be just another stinking piece of road-kill in the wake of the Trump Express.

This is what affirmative action gets you.

The thing is - the more she opens her mouth the more proof she’s giving to Kelly’s side of the story and that her firing was proper and necessary.

How much is this weak minded woman getting paid from the deep state swamp to change her story on POTUS? Or is she just getting a book deal? Doesn’t matter because anything this woman has to say.......................

Another riveting interview by the MSM. Oh..wait a minute: Rather than imply something damaging was said on the audio recording, why not tell us exactly what was said? Reread what the quote says: "...that she says she had..." What the hell does that mean? It sounds like they have her on tape saying she has a recording, not the actually recording itself. Why not show us what the tape says? But no, that would actually be useful information rather than espousing their agenda.

She claims recorded the entire 2 hour exit interview, but only released about 50 seconds worth of audio, if what I heard is all she has on them, she has nothing. I found nothing wrong with what Gen Kelly said to her. In fact, if we heard the entire interview, we would probably understand exactly why he said it. And I have a feeling she was caught red handed leaking out to the press and trashing the president. She is not going to release those parts.

If Specialist/4 Bradley Manning of the 10th Mountain Division had access to all the things he leaked, what would the Secretary of State have access to?

This person is a living testimonial to the corrupting effects of affirmative action. She is an out of control egomaniac who never would have advanced in her career without preferences. It is doubtful that she would have been admitted to a prestigious university otherwise.

Trump claims she cried and begged for a White House job.

Not seeing the payoff for such a “show.”

What that b*tch needs is an indictment for a gross violation of national security.

She’s so ignorant that she doesn’t understand the role of the White House Chief of Staff. President Carter for some reason even scheduled the White House tennis courts usage by himself. How’d that work out for us?

Is the press buying this crap?
So every employer that brings an employee into a conference room is guilty of false imprisonment?
Kelly runs the WH staff. Trump runs the country. What an idiot. Did she really think her bullish*t was that important?
