Former Trump aide Omarosa may have taped White House discussions, fears Mueller wants to talk to her


Former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman may have taped confidential West Wing conversations and fears being caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, sources told the Daily News on Thursday.

The former reality TV star’s official last day in the Trump administration is Saturday — despite the abrupt announcement of her departure last month — and her next step seems to be lawyering up.

The soon-to-be former assistant to President Trump and director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison has held exploratory meetings with several high profile attorneys for potential representation, a source told The News.

Manigault-Newman has met with Harvey Weinstein’s former attorney Lisa Bloom and former Bill Cosby lawyer Monique Pressley, among others.

It is not immediately clear why the former “Apprentice” star is seeking legal help, but those with knowledge of her unceremonious removal from the White House say she is “very concerned” that trouble is on the horizon.

You are old news--if you ever were news at all--and pretending Mueller might be interested in you is just pathetic. Crawl back under your rock and leave us alone.

It would be unbelievable if Omarosa wasn't privy to many of Trump's secrets. She should be scared and she should lawyer up.

Imagine if she had secretly recorded conversations and told others she had done so. If Robert Mueller heard about that, don't you think he'd want the recordings? And he could get them. If she destroyed or altered them, her troubles would multiply.

She's a loose cannon and very unstable. Let's hear her story. There could be plenty of dirt she could share.

Anything that fucks up Trump's shit.

but I think Omarosa has nothing and is hinting at non-existent tapes in desperation to catch a little of that spotlight.

But I hope you're right.
