TRUMP FAMILY/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Lara Trump tore into her old friend Omarosa Manigault Newman on Thursday [8-16-18] after she released a tape of the president’s daughter-in-law offering her a job on the 2020 campaign shortly after being fired from the White House…She fired back after Manigault Newman appeared on MSNBC and aired excerpts from a tape that appeared to show Lara Trump offering her a job at $180,000 a year to join President Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, after she was fired in December 2017. On the tape, Lara Trump appears to make reference to a New York Times story that reported Manigault Newman was preparing to tell her story, and tells her that could not happen if she joined the campaign…But in a lengthy statement, Lara Trump described the airing of the tape as a ‘betrayal’ — coming after Manigault Newman was ‘welcomed into our family as a trusted friend and confidant.'”
