By Matt Shuham | August 16, 2018 2:17 pm
rump 2020 campaign staffer and presidential daughter-in-law Lara Trump responded Thursday to former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman releasing a recording of a conversation the two of them had just days after Manigault Newmans White House firing.
Woman to woman, I shared a connection with Omarosa as a friend and a campaign sister, and I am absolutely shocked and saddened by her betrayal and violation on a deeply personal level, Lara Trump said in a written statement.
Manigault Newmans recording, one of several recorded conversations with Trump insiders shes released in order to promote a new book, included Lara Trump offering her a $15,000 monthly salary to join the 2020 campaign.
Trump sounded concerned on the recording that Manigault Newman could become a critic of the President, or release damaging information about him to the press, otherwise.

then you think you said or did something inappropriate.
Cause otherwise, there is nothing to be concerned about.

...from the White House to work on Trump's campaign when you did not know why she got fired in the first place?
Does not make sense.

(31,170 posts)15. If I remember correctly, Lara is up to her eyeballs in all of this.
I seem to remember she was involved in Rudy's announcement that they were about to get dirt on Hillary...I can't find the article, but I think she went to NC to meet someone...
