Omarosa: I’m ready to testify at Trump impeachment trial
The Hill ^ | August 24, 2018 | Morgan Gstalter

Posted on 08/24/2018 2:19:32 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman said she is ready “anytime, anyplace” to appear as a witness against President Trump, including a potential Senate impeachment trial.

“I have the truth on my side as well as a hundred emails and documents and other things,” said Manigault Newman in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery” released Friday, claiming she can testify about her knowledge of Russian ties to Trump’s campaign.

Manigault Newman said that congressional committees have not yet reached out to her seeking testimony regarding information relevant to lawmaker probes into election interference and potential collusion with the Trump campaign.

Earlier this month she said that she met with special counsel Robert Mueller and would be willing to speak with him again.

Calls for Trump’s removal have renewed this week after his former longtime lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to charges including a campaign finance violation, implicating the president in the process.

Manigault Newman told the Yahoo News podcast that she still talks to Cohen frequently.

“Michael Cohen and I are still close,” she said on Wednesday, when Cohen appeared in court. “I talked to him today and I wanted him to know and reassure him that his friends are still his friends. We still have his back.”

Trump has been lashing out at Cohen in the days since his former lawyer accepted a plea bargain for eight counts related to bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance law violations.

"If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen!" Trump tweeted on Wednesday.

Manigault Newman said on the podcast that she was “very upset” about Trump’s tweet.

“Why kick a man while he’s down, you know? This man is facing jail time, he has a family, he has a beautiful wife. His daughter was my intern at the White House,” Manigault Newman said. She previously served as the director of communications for the White House's Office of Public Liaison.

“He would not be paying off porn stars if Donald Trump had not slept with them and had these illicit relationships with them and if Donald Trump had not directed him to pay these women off,” she continued, referring to the payments Cohen made to women alleging affairs with Trump.

Cohen did not refer to Trump by name during his court proceedings but told a judge that he made two six-figure payments relating to women — adult-film star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal — at the direction of "a candidate for federal office."

Manigault Newman has been on a media blitz surrounding her new tell-all memoir, “Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House,” which hit No. 1 on The New York Times best seller list this week.

Yeah, if he’s “Hitler” or a tyrant or dictator you’d think these people would walk small. The fact that they feel no need to do so argues against all the names they call him.

Omarosa:

Sit the (bleep) down and shut the (bleep) up.

Everyone knows you are a liar. And everyone knows there will be no Impeachment hearings.

You are as stupid as Mad Maxine.

She’s a “licensed” minister married to another “minister.” She talks about this all the time.

Her “minister” husband (from a church in Atlanta) was bankrupt but he still gave Amarosa a “five carat” engagement ring. Explain to me how a legitimate humble and honest pastor gets that kind of walkin’ around money.

I doubt Amarosa’s “license” came from any legitimate religious seminary.

She would make a laughably bad and unreliable “witness.” Bring her on, LMAO.

 

Indeed. As a witness? I think she'd be on the same level as this famous witness.

I never watched The Apprentice or any other junk reality TV, but I still somehow knew her name from people talking. Same way I know 4 or 5 of the American Idol winners without watching a single episode. We are saturated with this nonsense.

It’s so embarrassing to even hear her name associated with the government/presidency. I guess it’s part of our 2018 reality and where we are as a country but I really don’t like it, he should have left all that stuff behind

I would never have guessed in a million years that she is supposed to be a minister.

Personally I think both her and Cohen were offered lot of money/and or threatened to take down Trump once he got into WH.

I am surprised she hasn’t accused Trump of sexual harassment, having an affair with him, etc.

Next up, Conway taken out. I bet Omarosa taped her.
