Apprentice Star Omarosa Manigault Will Leave Trump Administration Next Month
In what might be a White House shake-up, Omarosa Manigault-Newman has resigned from the Trump Administration.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders released a statement today confirming that Manigault will take her leave on the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump‘s presidency.
“Omarosa Manigault Newman resigned yesterday to pursue other opportunities. Her departure will not be effective until January 20, 2018. We wish her the best in future endeavors and are grateful for her service.” @pressec said in statement to @CNN

Manigault has long worked as an aide and confidant for Trump, and she served the White House by doing outreach as director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison. Even so, recent reports indicate that she had a negative relationship with her White House colleagues, and there have been a lot of questions about what exactly she contributed to the administration.
White House correspondent April Ryan used to have a personal relationship with Manigault, and when she reported the first signs of Manigault’s departure, she suggested that there was contention last night amid the resignation:
I am hearing from several sources there was a lot of drama at the White House last night and it wasn’t about the Alabama election. #fired. Stay tuned

I heard there was drama and she was escorted out of the building and off campus

Sources say General Kelly did the firing and Omarosa is alleged to have acted very vulgar and cursed a lot and said she helped elect President Trump. The word is a General Kelly had it and got rid of her.

According to multiple sources Omarosa did not resign. She was even escorted out of he building and off campus.

Of course, Manigault rose to fame as a recurring villain on The Apprentice, so maybe by now, she’s used to getting the “you’re fired” treatment from the president. But don’t worry. Maybe she’ll return in a future season of our reality show existence.
