Bridgewater : The White House is slamming a new book by ex-staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman, calling her “a disgruntled former White House employee.” The Guardian newspaper reported that in the memoir, Manigault-Newman labels Trump a “racist” and claims she’s been told there are tapes of him using the N’-word repeatedly while filming “The Apprentice” reality series on which she appeared.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, “Instead of telling the truth about all the good Trump is doing to make America safe and prosperous,” Manigault-Newman’s book is “riddled with lies and false accusations.” She also said, “It’s sad that a disgruntled former WH employee is trying to profit off these false attacks.” She criticised media for giving her a platform.
