Omarosa Secretly Recorded Trump—And Played the Audio for People, Sources Say
The Daily Beast ^ | 08/08/18 | LACHLAN MARKAY, ASAWIN SUEBSAENG, MAXWELL TANI

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.

“I wonder if she broke any laws by recording the president in the White House without his knowledge or permission?”

That would depend on what state she was in when recording, I think.

He might be a brilliant business man but his choice in hiring people like this and some of his lawyers leave me scratching my head.

Yeah I've said that as well. He is not always good at hiring and some times he is not too good at firing either ... despite his reputation.

If this tape were especially damaging, it would almost certainly have been released by now.

The problem with President Trump is he is not powerful enough to be feared. He’s not able to sic the government on his enemies or make a phone call and ruin someone’s career or business.

#5: "He might be a brilliant business man but his choice in hiring people like this and …"

President Trump was rightfully optimistic and joyful after his election victory. He seemed to be in a mood to unite and let bygones be bygones for the good of America.

He was stabbed in the back. Parasites and fifth columnists took advantage of President Trump's good will. And wormed their way into his administration. The snakes and cockroaches crawled out of cracks and began to sabotage him from the start.

“I’m sure the FBI will get right on this.”
You’re joking, right?
We cannot assume that any random FBI agent of today is going to do anything that would help this president. They don’t opperate as they did when we were growing up.
Now it’s Party before Country for many agents.
Just ask one.

Where was Trump recorded? Any recording in a 2 party consent state?

We have a no recording policy at my business.
