Ex white house aide omarosa releases tapes of her firing by chief of staff john kelly
Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former White House aide and assistant to President Donald Trump, released a recording of her firing by Chief of Staff John Kelly on August 16, 2018. The recording was made on December 12, 2017, and was released as part of her book "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House".
According to the recording, Kelly told Manigault Newman that she was being let go from her position as Director of Communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison. Kelly told her that the decision was made by Trump, and that he wanted to "clean house" and bring in new staff.
Manigault Newman has been a vocal critic of Trump and the White House since leaving her position in January 2018. She has made several public appearances and given interviews, during which she has shared her experiences and insights about her time in the White House.
The release of the recording sparked controversy and debate, with some critics accusing Manigault Newman of violating confidentiality agreements and others defending her right to share her story. The White House responded by calling Manigault Newman's actions "disgusting" and "unprofessional".
The recording has also raised questions about the use of recordings in the White House and the potential implications for national security and confidentiality.
