Omarosa offered $15K a month to be “positive.”

Yet another Omarosa tape has been released, this time seeming to show Lara Trump offering the former “Apprentice” star $15,000 a month to “be positive” after her firing late last year. This is a massive confirmation in the latest of the Omarosa leaks. This confirmation shows that figures like Sean Spicer, who remains a strong supporter of Trump despite the attacks against his character by the Trump administration, may not be sincere supporters of the President after all. As for the payment, the recording shows that Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, offered Omarosa a job. However, the job wouldn’t require her to report to any particular office or have a specific set of duties, other than to speak positively on Trump’s behalf as part of his re-election campaign. Lara Trump goes on to say, “It sounds a little like, obviously, that there are some things you’ve got in the back pocket to pull out.”

“Clearly, if you come on board the campaign, like, we can’t have, we got to … ”

Omarosa interjects: “Oh, God no.”

“Everything, everybody, positive, right?” asks Lara Trump.

The former “Apprentice” star was one of Trump’s most prominent African American supporters during the campaign, before being hired on as a White House Assistant earning $179,000 per year. Since then, Manigault Newman alleges there is a tape of Trump using a racial slur while working on “The Apprentice.” Trump has since denied this, and has lashed out at his former aide on Twitter, calling her “wacky and deranged,” ”not smart,” and a “dog.” Leaving only one question, if Omarosa is a “not smart,” “wacky and deranged…dog,” why would Trump hire her for 3 stints on “The Apprentice” and to work as director of communications for the White House office of public liaison?

Omarosa’s Roasting Continues

On the heels of the recent Omarosa tapes, President Trump took to twitter and stated that Omarosa Manigualt Newman “…fully signed…” a Non-Disclosure Agreement, (NDA) which the President feels was violated by publishing the recordings. However, Omarosa claims she never signed her agreement and legal experts contest that the NDAs may not be enforceable at all, after the Washington Post published the purposed consulting agreement and companion agreement given to Omarosa by the Trump administration. When asked about the legality of political NDAs Heidi Kitrosser, a law professor at the University of Minnesota Law, said “Based on the one NDA that I’ve seen, the provisions are incredibly broad. Among other things, signers must promise never, during or after their service, to say anything disparaging about Trump, Pence, any Trump family member, etc.” This brings in obvious questions about the constitutional violations that may arise out of the NDA, as well as why tax payer dollars are being spent on keeping people quiet. Even former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said, “You do have the right to free speech, you have the right to talk to people, publish a book, say what you want, or pen an article. I don’t know how you can stop that from happening.” One thing is for certain, it’s not normal for a White House to have staff with little to no security clearance signing NDAs.
