rump 2020 campaign staffer and presidential daughter-in-law Lara Trump responded Thursday to former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman releasing a recording of a conversation the two of them had just days after Manigault Newman’s White House firing.

“Woman to woman, I shared a connection with Omarosa as a friend and a campaign sister, and I am absolutely shocked and saddened by her betrayal and violation on a deeply personal level,” Lara Trump said in a written statement.

Manigault Newman’s recording, one of several recorded conversations with Trump insiders she’s released in order to promote a new book, included Lara Trump offering her a $15,000 monthly salary to join the 2020 campaign.

Trump sounded concerned on the recording that Manigault Newman could become a critic of the President, or release damaging information about him to the press, otherwise.

15. If I remember correctly, Lara is up to her eyeballs in all of this.

I seem to remember she was involved in Rudy's announcement that they were about to get dirt on Hillary...I can't find the article, but I think she went to NC to meet someone...
