Omarosa may have secretly taped White House conversations: report

Source: The Hill

Former Trump staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman might have secretly recorded private conversations in the White House as she feared involvement in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, The New York Daily News reported Friday.

Sources told the Daily News that Manigault-Newman, who was abruptly fired from the White House late last year, “loves” to record meetings.

“Everyone knows Omarosa loves to record people and meetings using the voice notes app on her iPhone,” one source said. “Don’t be surprised if she has secret audio files on everyone in that White House, past and present staffers included.”

The White House’s recent ban on staffers having their personal cell phones was tied to Manigault-Newman’s habit of recording her conversations, the source told the Daily News.

the Mueller subpoena would happen well before any check can be anonymized through some obscure Delaware LLC.

Trump likes his underlings to be competing against each other.

There was some article about that before the election.

I could see her secretly taping for insurance. Hopefully it won't be harmful concerning her and if true, deadly towards t-rump and his fucked up adminstration, including the ugly GOPs.

It makes perfect sense she would do this. She is a deplorable human who is only concerned about her own fame and fortune. Secretly taping everything would be exactly what she would do so when she has a ghost-written book and then a movie she has the tapes for it.

Mueller should be pursuing a subpoena for any recordings today, if he hasn't already. Not sure if he has interviewed her yet, but if he has reason to believe she has recordings that could be relevant to his inquiry he should be able to get the subpoena.

If she really has tapes, I suggest Omarosa if she ever wants to be able to walk free in public (with a bodyguard), that she turn in any tapes to Robert Mueller and the FBI and negotiate herself some immunity....
