The White House on Sunday shot back at Omarosa Manigault Newman’s secret recording of her dismissal last year, saying it “proves” her “lack of character and integrity.”
“The very idea a staff member would sneak a recording device into the White House Situation Room, shows a blatant disregard for our national security – and then to brag about it on national television further proves the lack of character and integrity of this disgruntled former White House employee,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Sunday evening.
Earlier Sunday Manigault Newman revealed her secret recording of her termination by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
"This is a White House where everybody lies ... you have to have your back," she said defending the recording.
"If I did not have this recording, people would still believe the false, incredible story that I was running around the White House … that I tried to charge the residence of the White House. People would still think that I was trying to set off alarms," she continued. "So yes, I recorded myself and I have no regret about it."

Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer called her secret recording, which reportedly took place in the Situation Room, “a massive violation of security protocol.”
“She taped the chief of staff for the White House in the Situation Room, clearly a violation of every security protocol that she signed when she applied for a security clearance,” he said on "Fox News Sunday."
Manigault Newman wrote a memoir that’s out this week titled “Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House.”
I thought that was particularly funny, as if the firing of some low-level insubordinate worker was something only the leader of the free world could do.
I imagine the man who collects our trash getting fired, and going on national news to complain that he was fired by some first-line manager, and not the CEO.
I agree. Aggressive prosecution/investigation of her involvement is a good start.
I think we at least know who was doing all the leaking back in the early trump administration.
“the only negative aspect of this story for Trump is it calls into judgment who he puts his faith in.”
My feeling as well. And he’s had quite a few that did not serve him well. However he seems to be learning, as his more recent picks have been quite good.
+1
They assume she won't be prosecuted. She possesses the necessary melanin levels to assure that politically at least she is unimpeachable (i.e., beyond reproach).
She was trouble on “The Apprentice”. Bad move hiring her.
Since obama said “the n word” on national tv anyone should be able to say it.
What is wrong with Drudge? He’s running a headline that makes it seem Omarosa has some damaging material to use against Trump.

I...I...I...me...me...me...
Omarosa looks at Mount Rushmore and thinks she’s above it all but I’ve got news for her!
Electronics are so small nowadays, it would not be an issue to have a recording device on your body - not difficult to do - no conspiracy theory is needed.
The Situation Room SHOULD be secure, clearly it’s not. Your idea that Omarosa had help in this is clearly ridiculous. Omarosa is money and fame hungry. If someone helped her, she would simply turn that person in for the money and fame it would bring her.
Secondly, it totally DOES look bad on the President that he hired her. He hired her as part of his Transition Executive, along with his sons, Ivanka, Kushner, and Banon. That is NOT a ‘low-level’ staffing appointment.
Clearly, Trump does not hire the best people.
Look for this idiot’s book in the Clearance Bin in 10 days. Who would publish such a guaranteed stinker?
Chief of Staff (Gen.) John Kelly was brought in to curb an unruly and press leaking White House staff. He certainly did that on the QT. Looks li8ke he hit the mark squarely when he dismissed Omarosa...
This needs to go viral, a must read concerning Omarosa’s Statements...

Snippet from above:
“Based upon her conflicting accounts and the newfound information revealed in my statement, it should be abundantly clear to everyone that not only is her book a complete work of fiction, but that the existence of this elusive “N-word” tape is a figment of her imagination and merely a destructive tool of manipulation applied only when it best serves her interests. “
End of Snippet...
This is not a long read, but worth your time IMO.
