Omarosa teases story behind White House exit

FORMER Apprentice star Omarosa is putting the White House on notice as she makes her exit saying she has “quite a story to tell” about her time in President Donald Trump’s administration.

Accustomed to the spotlight, Omarosa Manigault Newman appeared on national television on Thursday to push back against reports that she was fired from her job as a Trump assistant and director of communications for a White House office that deals with constituent groups.

She also denied reports that she made a spectacle of herself while being escorted from the White House grounds, calling the stories “100 per cent false” and questioning why photos or video of her alleged misbehav- ior had yet to surface.

Better known by just her first name, Ms Manigault Newman told ABC’s Good Morning America that she resigned this week after discussing some of her concerns with White House chief of staff John Kelly.

Before her resignation, Mr Kelly had advised Ms Manigault Newman that changes were forthcoming — including her dismissal, according to two White House officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Ms Manigault Newman described her conversation with Mr Kelly as being “very candid.” Her life now seems destined to include writing a tellall book about her time at the White House.
