Trump to sue 'disgusting' Omarosa and other aides for confidentiality breaches, 'forgives' Madeleine Westerhout: 'She's a good person'
President Donald Trump, in a series of tweets on Saturday, slammed his former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, calling her "disgusting and foul-mouthed" and saying she was "despised by everyone." The president also took aim at some of his former White House staffers for "violating their confidentiality agreements," adding that he will be suing them.
"...Yes, I am currently suing various people for violating their confidentiality agreements. Disgusting and foul-mouthed Omarosa is one," Trump said in his tweet. "I gave her every break, despite the fact that she was despised by everyone, and she went for some cheap money from a book. Numerous others also!"
Trump has accused Omarosa of violating a 2016 confidentiality agreement as she released her tell-all book last year titled 'Unhinged,' in which she heavily criticized the Republican. Trump's campaign, in August last year, had filed a legal complaint against Omarosa, accusing her of violating the agreement with the release of the book.
Omarosa, in her book, said that she "refused" to sign a non-disclosure agreement when leaving the White House. However, Trump disagreed with her in a tweet, writing: "Wacky Omarosa already has a fully signed Non-Disclosure Agreement!"
Omarosa, who was a contestant on 'The Apprentice' before serving as a senior adviser to the president, suggested in her book that the president was misogynistic, insecure, and self-absorbed. She also said that after years of defending him, she had finally concluded that Trump was a bigot.
"I didn't want to believe it," she wrote in the book. "I rejected what other people said about him because they didn't know him like I did. I had to go through the pain of witnessing his racism with my own eyes, and hearing it with my own ears, many times, until I couldn't deny it any longer."
The former White House aide has also claimed that evidence exists that the president repeatedly used the N-word on the set of 'The Apprentice', a show he was popular for hosting before his presidency. Although she acknowledged that she never obtained the tapes, she said that there are three unnamed sources who had described their contents to her.
The outburst from Trump on Saturday came after his personal secretary, the White House "gatekeeper," Madeleine Westerhout, resigned on Thursday. She had allegedly revealed intimate details about his family to the press while she was inebriated. She reportedly told the White House correspondents during an off-the-record dinner a week ago that Trump doesn't like to be pictured with his daughter Tiffany because he thinks she is "overweight."
Trump also tweeted about Westerhout on Saturday, writing: "While Madeleine Westerhout has a fully enforceable confidentiality agreement, she is a very good person and I don't think there would ever be reason to use it. She called me yesterday to apologize, had a bad night. I fully understood and forgave her! I love Tiffany, doing great!"
