    Was this somehow as a result of The Apprentice? I feel like he developed some “friends” out of that show. Like what was her name, Omarosa or something?

      Yup, Omarosa Manigualt-Newman. She had her own roller coaster ride with Trump since 2016. Here’s a few excerpts from her Wikipedia page:

      In December 2016, Newman was announced as one of nine additional members to Trump’s presidential transition team. Unlike the rest of President Trump’s inner circle appointments, Omarosa didn’t have any roots in the Republican party or otherwise conservative or right wing activism.

      On January 3, 2017, it was reported that Newman would join Trump’s White House staff, focusing on public engagement. Her specific title was made public the next day as assistant to the President and director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison.

      On December 13, 2017, the White House announced Newman’s resignation, effective January 20, 2018… CNN White House correspondent April Ryan reported that White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly fired Newman, but she disputed the account, stating that she resigned. But Newman had secretly taped her firing, and gave the tape to Chuck Todd to play on his NBC program Meet The Press on August 12, 2018.

      Newman wrote a book deeply critical of Trump titled Unhinged, which went on sale on August 14, 2018, in which she labels Trump a racist, and states that witnesses have confirmed the existence of tapes of Trump repeatedly using the word “n*****” during the filming of The Apprentice.

        Wait. That says Omarosa secretly gathered the evidence that Omarosa was lying and released it?
