President Donald Trump added to the drama behind former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman’s soon-to-be-released memoir after a “Bikers for Trump” photo-op in Bedminster, New Jersey Saturday.

During a White House pool spray, Trump responded to a shouted question about Manigault Newman and her book— which claims that there are tapes of Trump using the N-word — by calling her a “lowlife.”

“She’s a lowlife,” Trump said, before stepping back into the crowd.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday that the book is “riddled with lies and false accusations.”
