Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman says she was offered a $15,000-a-month hush money agreement to stay quiet after she was fired from the White House in December 2017, according to The Washington Post. The Post cites both Manigault Newman’s soon-to-be-released book and “people familiar with the proposal.”
The offer came from Lara Trump, an adviser to the Trump campaign and the wife of President Donald Trump’s son Eric. In return for not making comments disparaging the President, Vice President or their families, Manigault Newman would be paid to do “diversity outreach” and other tasks for the campaign.
Manigault Newman refused the agreement, opting to make the same kind of statements the campaign likely hoped to avoid during an appearance on the reality TV show “Celebrity Big Brother” and, now, in a forthcoming book, “UNHINGED.”
In a recent statement, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the book, by a “disgruntled former White House employee,” is “riddled with lies and false accusations.”
I’d quadruple that if I thought she could ever keep quiet.
Sort of like Trump’s Twitter feed…
Fits a pattern.
The money would have come out of the same “Melania’s B-Day Gift” slush fund used to pay Stormy Daniels.
Nice gig if you can get it, especially if it is for an extended period of time. After 9 months she would have about the same amount Spanky gave Stormy. She probably figures she can get more from her book sales. I expect her book to end up on the $1 rack pretty soon though.
