The war between Donald Trump and Omarosa Manigault Newman is getting more contentious by the day. Vanity Fair published a story today saying:
“His campaign filed an arbitration suit against her seeking “millions.” And Trump told advisers that he wants Attorney General Jeff Sessions to have Manigault Newman arrested, according to one Republican briefed on the conversations. (It’s unclear what law Trump believes she broke.)”
This alleged threat of an arrest isn’t keeping the former White House employee quiet. Today, on MSNBC, she released another secret recording she made of a conversation she had with Lara Trump. She alleges the conversation is proof that she was offered hush money saying: “I saw this as an attempt to buy my silence, to censor me to pay me off $15,000 per month.”
