Report: Former Trump aide Omarosa Manigault
secretly recorded the president
Lordy, there are tapes.
Former Trump administration official Omarosa Manigault Newman secretly recorded conversations with President Trump, according to The Daily Beast . Newman keeps the recordings of Mr. Trump on her smart phone, the publication reports, which were described by one person who listened to the recordings as "anodyne, everyday chatter."
The former star of "The Apprentice" has written a book on her experience in the White House that will be released later in August. In a page from her book, "Unhinged," which was obtained by The Daily Beast, Newman described an attempted purge of "leakers" carried out by herself, then-communications director Anthony Scaramucci and Ivanka Trump, the president's eldest daughter.
Newman was fired by White House chief of staff John Kelly in December. She then tried to protest the terms of her firing by marching to the White House residence, CBS News' Major Garrett reported at the time , but was escorted out of the building.
Newman has previously discussed her time in the administration on the public when she appeared on the reality show "Celebrity Big Brother" earlier in the year. She described the administration as "so bad" on the show and insisted she would not vote for Mr. Trump again "in a million years." She also insulted Vice President Pence, saying that Americans would be "begging" for Mr. Trump if Pence became president.
In a later episode, however, Newman spoke glowingly about first lady Melania Trump . "I don't know why people don't think she's sharp," Newman said. "She speaks so many languages...she's sharp." Newman added that the first lady has "impeccable taste" and is "amazing."

If she had any actual dirt on Trump i think she would have put it out already.
She is a huckster just like trump. Maybe she's got audio of them playing kissyface.
Nah...that bit about recordings? She put the mundane one out there to send a message to Trump. And it was a genius move. Now he'll walk very softly because he KNOWS she has recordings of him.
She'll eventually have to surrender the recordings but that will be after the book and a long court hearing while the book makes millions....then we'll find they were all mundane recordings. But by that time the book sales will slow down and the movie will be out.
And Trump will be writing letters across the federal prison inmate to inmate mail system...lol
Those tapes while good for a book, can't be used in a court of law as one party did not know they were being recorded. I hope they are however one more nail in his political coffin.
Depending on the state, but commonly only one party needs to know that they are being recorded.
It really doesn't matter. Trump will know she has recordings and will walk very softly.
That was her intention was to cut him off at that pass and to keep him from twittering insults.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, there is no expectation of privacy at the whitehouse because you can be recorded at anytime while there.
Remember Trump making those threats to Comey? Of course that fell apart when he had to admit he either didn't have recordings or the recordings would support Comey's version.
She also insulted Vice President Pence, saying that Americans would be "begging" for Mr. Trump if Pence became president.
What insult ? she told the truth, that's why trump picked pence to begin with. Pence helps assure trump stays in office. trump needed someone who understood how the government actually worked who was also a worse candidate than himself to help assure he wouldn't be pushed out of office. Bingo we have VP pence.
never underestimate president trump.
Umm, I don't know ANYONE who thinks Pence would be a worse president than Trump. Pence would be a terrible president though, undoubtedly.
Yep, Probably so.
I don't know what kind of a president Pence would make, but he would realize that if we can get rid of Trump, he could be next. He would be minding his p's and q's and hopefully learn from Trump's mistakes to avoid making the same ones.
Considering that Pence has been an all out bootlicker and lackey of Trump, I think he has been well tainted with Trump's stank. As long as the Democrats get one chamber of congress Pence would be an instant lame duck. Also unelectable in 2020.
Even sweeter if they both got booted under Dem control of the houses.
The right would be shitting rainbow unicorn poop.
"Omarosa Manigault Newman secretly recorded conversations with President Trump "
In which State ?
States have certain "Laws" on "Super Secretive recordings" without the others knowledge.
But...the article notes it was all crap itty bitty conversation, so I guess it wouldn't matter.....or would it ?
