Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman on Monday released new tapes of President Trump in a private meeting talking about former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's ties to Russia.
Manigault Newman played the audio recording on ABC's "The View," prefacing it by saying it is from an October 2017 meeting with the White House communications and press teams.
"When Donald Trump got bored, which was very often because his attention span was very short, he would sometimes try to figure out what meetings were taking place in the White House and he would crash those meetings," Manigault Newman said. "This was a meeting with the entire communications staff and the press shop. We were meeting to talk about tax reform or his trip to North Korea."
"He came into the meeting, he sat down, and he starts rambling from topic to topic, none of it makes sense," she said. "And this is in October of last year, so this is … twelve months after the election, and he’s still talking about Hillary Clinton."
In the tape, Trump claims the "real Russia story is Hillary and collusion," a statement that he has made in public multiple times. He alleges the Clinton campaign paid $9 million for an unidentified "phony report."
When White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says it is "closer to six [million]," Trump says she is wrong, adding the money was "spent through a law firm."
"That way, they can't trace it," he says. "But they traced it. One thing in this business is they trace it."
"The reason a law firm is because this way you don’t have to give any papers," he adds. "But they found out, it’s definitely illegal and it’s illegal from a campaign standpoint, from a campaign financing standpoint."
At the end of the tape, Trump looks to his staff for affirmation.
"So the whole Russia thing, I think, seems to have turned around. What do you think, Sarah?" he asks.
"Absolutely," Huckabee Sanders can be heard replying.
Manigault Newman said the tape backs up her claims that Trump is mentally unstable.
The former Trump ally and co-star of reality television show "Celebrity Apprentice" has released multiple tapes from her time in the White House. In one tape, chief of staff John Kelly can be heard firing her in the Situation Room; in another, Trump acts surprised to hear that Manigault Newman has been fired.
She has been releasing the tapes as part of a media blitz following the release of her tell-all White House memoir "Unhinged."
"Do you think y’all knowingly lied to the American people?" one of the "View" hosts, actress Whoopi Goldberg, asked Manigault Newman on the show.
"Absolutely," Manigault Newman replied. "We would have to go out as the comms team and repeat verbatim what you just heard."
So her taping these: legal?
I thought it was illegal to tape someone in a setting such as this without their consent.
Isn’t DC a dual party consent locale?
So the BOSS comes into a meeting of his employees, and that makes him “unstable”....uh huh...ok...whatever you say Omarosa, the cray cray one.

and????
“We were meeting to talk about tax reform or his trip to North Korea.””
What expertise does Omarosa have on North Korea or tax reform?
What an ungrateful wench. How many breaks did Trump give to her?
LOL, all Omarosa did was to let the View viewers know that Hillary paid for the dossier and violated campaign laws.

This is what someone does when managing jobs in the construction business and in other business. You go and see what your workers are doing. Surprise visits are the best.
The tape says exactly what he says in public. And imagine complaining he was stil talking about the election a year ago, when they are still talking about the election now!
The tape backs up the reality that all those issues from the campaign will remain issues as long as the Mueller witch hunt continues, and nothing is done to sort out all the malfeasance that took place covering up Hillary's wrongdoing.
She just supported Trump’s claims about Hillary and Russia collusion and the cost of it. And Trump was on it a year ago.
That doesn’t seem anything but rational to me.
And a leader is SUPPOSED to wander around and crash meetings, work places, events, etc. It is leadership by involvement.
You are supposed to SEE IT YOURSELF in real time rather than have everyone get prepared for the boss to show up and be all prettied up.
Omarosa just made Trump look awesome!
One of the ways a manager knows if teams are functioning properly
The woman is a POS. She was hated by all the Clinton/Gore people. How did this POS continue to land jobs?
Running around recording people in the White House? Complete trash. I wish her the absolute worst.
All these tapes prove is she needs heavy jail time for violating the security of the United States!
Does she even have an idea of what she has done to herself?
Due to national security concern, the FBI needs to immediately confiscate all her tapes.
They need to get off their asses and do a raid like they did on Manafort’s home.
