Omarosa has revealed that she secretly recorded numerous people within the Donald Trump administration. The announcement fell during the same week of the schedule release of her book "Unhinged." Now, the White House is firing back. Wochit


WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump fired back at former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman, who claimed she heard tapes where Trump used the "n-word" during the filming of "The Apprentice."

After describing the onetime "Apprentice" star as "wacky" and "vicious, but not smart" in a series of tweets early Monday, Trump claimed that the show's producer, Mark Burnett, called "to say that there are NO TAPES of the 'Apprentice' where I used such a terrible and disgusting word."

Then, on Tuesday, the president upped his attacks, calling Manigault Newman a "dog."

Manigault Newman on Monday revealed more recordings she had made inside the White House. Trump has said he had given her a job in his administration last year after she "begged" him with "tears in her eyes."

In a tweet later Monday, he indicated Manigault Newman "already has a fully signed" nondisclosure agreement.

Manigault Newman left the White House in January and is promoting a book about her experiences with Trump.

"Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will," Trump wrote on Twitter. "She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart."

Trump said he would "rarely see her" but heard "bad things." 

"Nasty to people & would constantly miss meetings & work," the president wrote. 

Over the weekend, Trump called her a "low life" during a bikers rally with motorcycle-riding supporters in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Manigault Newman, whose tell-all book “Unhinged” is out Tuesday, revealed a second tape Monday in an interview on NBC’s "Today" that features Trump. Trump is heard telling Manigault Newman that "nobody even told me" about her firing, according to NBC.
