Recording: Omarosa offered $15,000 a month to be 'positive'

Omarosa Manigault Newman has released another secret audio recording that she says proves President Donald Trump wanted to silence her after firing her from the White House.

In the recording played on MSNBC yesterday, Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump offers Manigault Newman a job earning USD 15,000 a month. The job wouldn't require her to report to any particular office or have a specific set of duties, other than to speak positively on Trump's behalf as part of his re-election campaign.

Lara Trump, married to Eric Trump, can be heard on the tape noting a New York Times report that suggested Manigault Newman had inside information that could be damaging to Trump.

"It sounds a little like, obviously, that there are some things you've got in the back pocket to pull out," Lara Trump said. "Clearly, if you come on board the campaign, like, we can't have, we got to ... " Manigault Newman interjects: "Oh, God, no." "Everything, everybody, positive, right?" Lara Trump asks.

The secret recording is one of several Manigault Newman released this week to back up her claims in her new book, "Unhinged." In a written response yesterday, Lara Trump said her entire family was concerned for Manigault Newman after she was fired "because we had no idea about the basis for her dismissal," but "we still wanted her on our team because we cared so much about her personally."
Lara Trump says that's why she reached out and offered Manigault Newman a job on the re-election campaign "before we knew anything about the gross violations of ethics and integrity during her White House tenure."
Lara Trump says that the latest tape is a "fraud" and that the snippets of discussion aired by MSNBC "took place in numerous phone calls over the course of several weeks."
But she was deeply disliked by many of her colleagues and eventually was ousted by Trump's chief of staff, John Kelly, for "significant integrity issues."
According to other recordings released this week, Trump appeared to be in the dark on her December 2017 firing. And Kelly suggested, "If we make this a friendly departure ... you can go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation."
