5. Lara Trump, who told Omarosa that Donald wanted her to make that offer.

$180,000 a year, and Lara made it clear that Omarosa really didn't have to do anything but keep her mouth shut about everything negative she knew about the Trump admin and family.

Yeh, this isn't good for The Trump. No way to spin that conversation. And you don't offer someone hush money unless there is something serious you want then hushed about.

KNEW the e-mails were going to be released.. Craig said that's explosive if true. She said she can verify everything.
She has more tapes! Trump wants Sessions to have her arrested! He's absolutely furious and coming apart.

That if after playboy models, porn star strippers, Russia-connected campaign mangers, mob-connected lawyers and alleged Russian hookers..... that a female reality show contestant that nobody in their right mind would have brought into the Whitehouse, is going to do Trump in.
