The Memo: Omarosa's exit is headache for White House

BY NIALL STANAGE - 12/15/17 05:36 AM EST

Team Trump is bracing for negative revelations from Omarosa Manigault Newman after she resigned from the White House in disputed circumstances on Wednesday.

“She is a total press hog, so we will certainly see her say horrible things about the team she was a member of until yesterday,” said one former Trump staffer on Thursday. The source requested anonymity to speak candidly.

The dynamics regarding Manigault Newman are complicated, however. She is something of a protege of the president’s, having shot to fame in the NBC reality TV show “The Apprentice” in which he starred.

Soon after he took office, she was appointed as a senior advisor to the president, as well as Communications Director of the Office of Public Liaison.

Several sources close to the matter suggested that Manigault Newman was unlikely to attack President Trump himself, and might instead focus her fire on his team.

"I'd rather have her inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in." Well, now Mrs. Newton is outside the tent. Given her history of abject sycophancy, it's unlikely that President Trump will be the target of her ire, but everyone else who ever interacted with her during her White House days should be wondering what she's going to say.
