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 don’t know why anyone is allowed to possess a cell phone in the presence of the President.
I just don’t know why President Trump thought hiring her was good idea.
Wasn’t she trouble on the Apprentice?
I didn’t watch, so I don’t know.
She is a self absorbed, self aggrandizing b*tch!!
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.
Wouldn’t there be some kind of Non-Disclosure Agreement signed by all people who worked at a certain level or had access to the White House?
She keep recording on her next job too, so we know whether or not people want fries with that.
Aren’t there statutes against this?
Let’s be honest, a lot of Trumps problems are self inflicted. They are mistakes of his own making. I don’t think he honestly thought he was going to win and he also had enemies in the camp.
UNGRATEFUL. This dirty deed will come back to bite her.
I’m sure the FBI will get right on this....
We knew someone was recording him and passing it on to the MSM.
Now we know one of the people doing it.
These people that do this stuff and then betray everyone they worked for will not have luck getting hired again. Who would hire a turncoat? They may be fine now while they are young, but eventually they will fade in with the masses and be unable to find work because of this kind of thier lying ways.
She was a total drama queen on the Apprentice. She couldn’t get along with the other contestants and accused several of them of racism when they called her out on her antics.
Has Mueller seized her cell phone yet?
If not, in 3...2..1.
I totally agree. He seems to put his trust in some people who have not reciprocated that trust back and got burned because of it.
That’s what I remember hearing.
“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.”
Good Lord! Taping people in the West Wing of the White House without their knowledge.
Omarosa had already said she thought the conversations with Trump, that he genuinely cared about race relations and was trying to improve things his way. Omarosa did not like a lot of the others she worked with.
Isn’t this illegal?
Another recording of Trump saying something nice , if it was bad stuff CNN would have it ,LOL
