Omarosa Manigault Newman says she refused hush money
Source: Washington Post
Omarosa Manigault Newman was offered a $15,000-a-month contract from President Trump’s campaign to stay silent after being fired from her job as a White House aide by Chief of Staff John F. Kelly last December, according to a forthcoming book by Manigault Newman and people familiar with the proposal.
But she refused, according to the incendiary new book, “Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House,” which also depicts Trump as unqualified, narcissistic and racist. Excerpts of the book were obtained by The Washington Post.
After she was fired, Manigault Newman wrote, she received a call from Trump campaign adviser Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, offering her a job and the monthly contract in exchange for her silence.
The proposed nondisclosure agreement allegedly said Manigault Newman could not make any comments about President Trump or his family; Vice President Pence or his family; or any comments that could damage the president. It said she would do “diversity outreach,” among other things, for the campaign, according to her account.

Heading off to the store for some more Jolly Time!
The idea was to keep her from writing a book and publishing before the election. And she refused THAT so I give her credit for not taking the easy money.
Make no mistake, Omarosa had many chances to escape Trump's coven of witches but she never quit - they kicked her out. I'm sure this book is mostly for revenge, but also for the money. She'll try to parlay it into a talk show gig, but she's not likable enough to get her own show.
