The foul Trump sycophant Katrina Pierson was just on CNN yesterday denying any knowledge... Omarosa got her and a few others this morning, it seems. Listen for yourself:

Mueller may have something new to investigate.

(4,066 posts)Clearly, she was there so she could do this sort of book after being there. She's an opportunist. I bet she started recording day one, when she got there.

(102,276 posts)Pierson told DailyMail.com on Sunday, however, that 'Omarosa is being intentionally dishonest in order to sell her new book.'
'First, I have never heard President Trump ever use the derogatory language that Omarosa claims. Also, I never confirmed the existence of an alleged tape from "The Apprentice" to her as she said today.'
'Thats a complete fabrication by Omarosa,' Pierson said. 'I feel pity for Omarosa as she embarrasses herself by creating salacious lies and distortions just to try to be relevant and enrich herself by selling books at the expense of the truth. "Unhinged," indeed.'

(102,276 posts)They are ALL LIARS....
Like Ms. Manigault-Newman, I have also known and worked for both the President and his family for over a decade and am confident that they would collectively confirm that I know them far better than she.
To be clear, at no time did I participate in a conference call with Katrina Pierson advising me, Jason Miller and Omarosa Manigault-Newman that Frank Luntz had heard President Donald J. Trump use a derogatory racial term - a claim that Luntz himself has also denied.

(779 posts)I wondered where I had heard the name Katrina Pierson before, I remember reading about her, she was caught for a number of things like shoplifting, also collecting unemployment benefits that she was not eligible, my memory is a bit vague, but I wonder how she got on the Trump team.

(11,631 posts)That one's gonna leave a mark. Must be a little disconcerting to be a Trump shill and watch all his nasty shit flow right off him and meanwhile it drowns them one by one in his sea of lies.

It's hard to argue with that.
At first, I thought this was just a big diversion, now I'm not so sure?

(102,276 posts)being done. It is interesting, though, that he is fighting SOOOOO hard not to be proven to have used the "N" word--something his hard core racist supporters would lap up.... I'm guessing it is important to him to maintain that last shred of "decency" for Ivanka et al., who've already sold their souls defending him against overt misogyny and antisemitism.
If, indeed (as it appears), he arranged via the inauguration committee to funnel $26 million to Burnett for the "festivity organization" (and as suggested to insure against those tapes seeing the light of day), then it seems his created monster, Omarosa, really DOES pose a threat and not merely a diversion for him.

(7,142 posts)Those secret tapes are too clear sounding like they were made in a studio.
It is no bombshell that Trump is a bigoted racist. This back and forth between Trump and Omarosa is Kabuki theater, reality TV. Trump's base will eat this up and cheer him on.

Those are their actual voices.

POTUS says former White House staffer @Omarosa lied when she called him a racist who has said the N-word on tape. But a new recording, obtained by @CBSNews overnight, seems to back up Omarosa's story that several Trump advisers discussed an alleged tape during the 2016 campaign.

Everyday there's a distraction in this circus admin. This is just the latest. It's not distracting Mueller. Hell, Mueller might want to talk to Omarosa.

Let them engage in the circular firing squad all day and night, that's better for the D's in the long run.
