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."
The Democrats pay better.
This is certainly one way to get the word out, since the Swamp Press avoids it like kryptonite. Mentioning Hillary's ties to Russia repeatedly will make it stick in listeners' minds.
She’s the epitome of the Affirmative Action Jackson, that’s how. People need to wake up to avoid Omarosas
I check people’s social media very carefully before thinking of hiring anybody like her. One bit of radicalism I don’t care how far back and it’s an automatic NO
Same for doing ANY sort of business. Sales, owner, whatever
She did try to push sex on Piers Morgan. She’s a trashy woman. Fits right in on the View.
With this one I think “cray cray” is just an introduction of the topic. I think it gets much worse with her.
I thought her performance on the Apprentice was just that, but now it’s clear that troubled woman is the real inner person.
Exactly. It’s called MBWA: “Management By Walking Around”
“What an ungrateful wench.”
“Ungrateful” is the least of her character flaws. What the hell is wrong with that woman? She’s seriously crazy — missing a chromosome or something.
It is called management by walking around. I am sure Trump managed his construction business the same way.
If I didn’t know better I swear she is trolling the libs and they are so blood thirsty, they are falling for it.
So that was the giant yawning sound I heard...
(in Ben Stein monotone) Wow, Bombshell
Why isn’t she in jail yesterday?
That whore is exponentially more of a SkankSlut than even Stormy!
This ain’t gonna fly any better than her other ‘bombshells’ did. Say goodbye, Omar, you are finished...
“...but nothing he said made sense...”
And yet, once again, she failed to capture any nonsense on tape... As Scott Adams says, “They want you to believe that in private, trump is crazy, but in public he’s perfectly fine.” And here we have secret tape of Trump in private and we still don’t see the madness and crazy talk...
Looks like it’s a looney bin of cray, crays.
And so why haven’t they?
Same B.S. the DNC, Hillary Campaign and Fusion GPS claimed, no no no we didn’t fund any dossiere.
Until a Federal Judge ruled that Fusion needed to turn over their bank statements and PRESTO money filtering in from Hillary Inc., DNC and others washed thru Perkins COI.
Let’s not forget the Millions the FBI used to fund this operation to help Hillary also. Money got paid to their CIs and Contractors including Steele. Money that was NOT used to “Investigate” but rather set up people Close to Trump.
I, at the time of publication, was a huge fan of that book. And then as time went by, I started noticing how many of those companies mentioned began fading or in some cases bankrupting away.
“he would sometimes try to figure out what meetings were taking place in the White House and he would crash those meetings,”
uh, right ... in Omarosa’s Bizarro World, THEIR President has no right to attend meetings of his subordinates in his office building or to know what they are doing there ...
“LOL, all Omarosa did was to let the View viewers know that Hillary paid for the dossier and violated campaign laws.”
She’s either really dumb or she’s a double-agent. She only reconfirmed what President Trump (and the facts) reveal over months.
Is this a spectacular fail or a political operation prior to more revelations?
