Omarosa: Trump Grabs Women, Had Preordained Knowledge Of Stolen Emails

By Kate Riga | August 14, 2018 2:47 pm

As the battle between former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman and the Trump administration intensifies, Manigault Newman leveled many new accusations against the President in a Tuesday interview on MSNBC.

First, she told MSNBC’s Katy Tur that President Donald Trump “absolutely” knew about Hillary Clinton’s stolen emails before they were published by WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign. She offered no further details about how Trump knew.

She added that Trump frequently sexually harassed women in the White House, saying that: “He is very physical and would grab women and kiss them, unsolicited, any time, any day.”

On special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, she said that she has partaken in an interview with Mueller and that the Trump administration is very worried about the probe.

“They have been hiding things from the American people and have been being dishonest,” she said.

She concluded that all of the information she was sharing from her memoir “UNHINGED” is “documented” and “corroborated.”

if Trump were brought down by one of his own - someone who is pretty much just like him. An attention-grabber brings down the pussy-grabber!

This is why Palin has been non-existent in the Trump orbit - she wanted to hog the spotlight for herself and Trump didn't like that. Omarosa behaves the same way - she wants all the publicity for herself, and she knows that if she has the dirt on Trump, the media will be following her around and she'll bask in all that attention. That may be the only way to beat Trump - suck up more oxygen than he does, and make him look like a fool, which he HATES! I really can't stand Omarosa, but in this case I'll say "you GO, girl"!

She said she refused to sign an NDA they presented to her, and she even showed a copy of it on tv. So was there another one, and she signed that other one? Did they forget her signature?

As for the book, publishers are pretty careful about tell all books, so that they review it in detail for anything that could get them sued for libel, and they require backup for anything that puts them at risk of a libel suit. So she must have presented backup for her claims in the book (I haven't read the book). But she's talking about her book and also about non-book things, so not sure what's in the book vs her just talking.

I would be surprised if the Mueller team got anything of significant use from her. She was fired on the spot, so if she had access to documents or emails, she wouldn't have been able to take them w/her. Unlike Gates, Manafort, Cohen. The govt got their documents. If she was smart, and if it's true she knew Trump couldn't be trusted, she would have printed emails out and taken them home.

they forged Stormy Daniels signature on the hush agreement, there's no reason why they would not forge Omarosa's signature on an NDA.

Now that Trump is actually in the White House, though, maybe they'll have enough quality people involved in the fake NDA to make it look legit...

Sorry, I can't keep a straight face... This is the gang that makes GWB II's staff look competent. Anything they produce will be laughable.

I'm watching MSNBC and read a couple stories. She is being presented as untrustworthy. I don't follow personalities, especially the trump ilk. Is Omarosa a liar, such as trump or huckabee sanders? Or is she just good at conniving?

I'll wait for Mr. Mueller to sort it out, but if she was in trump's inner circle, I can't accept she is entirely trustworthy. otoh, if she was in trump's inner circle, she will not hesitate to throw him under the bus, as he did to her.

I mean god fuckin' forbid she actually say something back in 2016... But no, why do the right thing when you can hold out for a fat book deal instead?

And her pretending like it was ONLY in 2017 that she realized her boss and benefactor might be just a little racist is insulting to our collective intelligence.
