Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, isn’t the only one with secretly recorded audio of the president.
Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell The Daily Beast that Omarosa Manigault-Newman, the infamous former Apprentice star who followed Trump to the White House, secretly recorded conversations with the president—conversations she has since leveraged while shopping her forthcoming “tell-all” book, bluntly titled UNHINGED.
For months, it has been rumored that Manigault had clandestinely recorded on her smartphone “tapes” of unspecified private discussions she had in the West Wing. Audio actually does exist, and even stars Manigault’s former boss.
One person confirmed to The Daily Beast they had heard at least one of her recordings featuring President Trump. Multiple sources familiar with the so-called “Omarosa tapes” described the recorded conversations between Trump and Manigault as anodyne, everyday chatter, but said they did appear to feature Trump’s voice, either over the phone or in-person.
The mere existence of such recordings represent a dramatic betrayal of trust by a one-time Trump confidant who has since abandoned years of professed loyalty to the president and has apparently decided to profit off her years of closeness to Trump.
President Trump particularly loathes the idea of being recorded without his knowledge, and felt especially irked and betrayed when news broke that Cohen had done so, as The Daily Beast reported late last month.
Manigault didn’t respond to a request for comment on this story.

“Aren’t there statutes against this?”
DC is one party consent.
She would have to have recorded sensitive or classified conversations and released them, to be guilty of a crime.
If he didn’t believe he wasn’t going to win, he would not have run. It wasn’t worth the time, money, or grief to run a losing campaign.
Let's hope so:
I'll say he was pandering ...
But the Dems and their cronies had better be prepared because what is good for the goose....
I say have at it and may the best recording (video and audio) win. I'd like to hear the private conversations of Hillary or Bill. Or the any of the lawyers on the Mueller team.
isn’t that illegal?
And this is exactly why Queen Hillary doesn’t.
Most states only have one-party consent laws regarding recording conversations. Only 12 have two-party consent statutes.
She was a SNAKE and he took her under his wing!! She is a VILE, VICIOUS, HIDEOUS HO!
She ought to try that trick with HRC sometime...................
LOL!! SO TRUE!! WHO would Hire her...EVER???
Good point. Someone like Omarosa ever being in a non-secure area while interacting with POTUS. Phone should have been secured the entire time.
Nah. She will probably land a news anchor job on CNN, MSNBC or some other alleged “news” network like traitors Clapper and Brennan did.
“Good grief. I never understood why the President ever let this nutbag within a mile of the White House.”

I’m with you. Ponderosa...Omarosa....whatever....she came across as a total unhinged psycho on Season One of “The Apprentice.”
Plus, I believe she once worked in the Clinton White House. A toxic b*tch who should have been avoided.
I wonder if she broke any laws by recording the president in the White House without his knowledge or permission?
He doesn’t necessary chooses the ‘best people’. There simply isn’t any loyalty out there. Either they don’t have it or he doesn’t inspire it. Lots of people are looking to make money and tell all. That happens.
Call me crazy, but I HIGHLY DOUBT Trump actually discussed anything of significance with the White House “assistant social director” and it’s already been proven that Assorama has lied about her access to Trump previously. I seriously doubt he was ever in the same room outside of large meetings about state dinners and such with Assorama. Many people have already said Assorama did nothing other than plan her third wedding her entire time at the White House.
She might find herself dead in a botched robbery...
What are the laws on recording in DC and on Federal property?
Are the words of the President classified by default?
Well guns NEVER appear in gun free zones either do they? To a lot of these assclowns, rules are meant to be broken. And trust betrayed as well apparently. I hate that!
Good question. to enter many parts of State, Defense, DOJ, etc... cell phones must be confiscated and locked-up.
