The Trump campaign is suing Omarosa for millions after her tell-all book and recordings set off a firestorm

President Donald Trump's campaign announced Tuesday that it's suing former top White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman. The news comes in response to Manigault Newman's new tell-all book on the White House. She has also released a trio of secret recordings — including one of Trump — in recent days.

President Donald Trump's campaign announced on Tuesday that it's suing former top White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman for allegedly breaching a 2016 non-disclosure agreement by releasing secret recordings of top officials, including Trump, and writing a tell-all book on the campaign and administration she served.

The Washington Examiner, The Washington Post, and the Associated Press reported that the campaign filed for arbitration against Manigault Newman with the American Arbitration Association in New York City for violating the agreement.

The campaign told The Examiner that Manigault Newman, a controversial former contestant on NBC's "The Apprentice," broke the NDA by disparaging Trump in her new book, "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House," and by releasing secret recordings from the White House and campaign. Manigault Newman recorded chief of staff John Kelly from the White House Situation Room during her firing, in addition to recording her conversation with Trump that followed her firing.

She has released both of those recordings, in addition to a third recording on Tuesday of a conversation between her and Lynn Patton, then-assistant to Eric Trump, and then-campaign officials Jason Miller and Katrina Pierson. The four discussed the possible existence of an audio recording of Trump saying the N-word.

Manigault Newman claimed in her book that she heard of the existence of such a recording, though she said in recent interviews that she's now heard the tape. Patton and Pierson, in addition to a number of Trump officials, have denied the existence of such a tape.

Trump, for his part, has vehemently denied saying the word. The president has also called Manigault Newman a "crazed, crying lowlife," a "dog," and "wacky and deranged."

The 2016 NDA Manigault Newman signed with the Trump campaign stipulated she she never "disparage" the Trump family "during the term of your service and at all times thereafter," The Examiner reported.

Manigault Newman claimed she did not sign such an agreement for her White House work or as a prior condition to work for the 2020 campaign, a job that ultimately never came to be. But the 2016 agreement remains in force, the campaign told The Examiner.

So why is it some poor schlub gets thrown in jail for taking a couple of snaps of a submarine he was assigned to, but this self-obsessed bitch isn’t even arrested for recording confidential conversations in the White House?

I never watched the Apprentice and I knew this woman was trouble.

Why didn’t President Trump?

Potentially she was recording video as well as audio.

To record multiple conversations in the White House, Omarosa must be 007.

That is high level spy work and could only be done with inside White House help.

In a way, this was a spying op. She had no intent of serving the best interests of this nation, only hers.. and her handlers.

Oh Jeffrey.. Could you take a gander at this ? I know you’re busy with other things over at DoJ but Please..

“a source who witnessed her make many of the recordings told Axios.”

When I first entered the defense world, cameras, tape recorders and radios were all verboten.

Now folks wander around the SCIF with an iPhone.

yeesh

As I suspected, she was a “plant”. She was there to collect damaging information for future political use.

I got a tape of a President saying the N-word right here:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/22/barack-obama-n-word-racism-marc-maron-interview

So what’s the beef?

She should immediately be arrested and prosecuted for espionage.
