Sources inside the White House told The Hill today that they are terrified “press hog” Omarosa Manigault will run to the media to share the gory details of the “dysfunction and chaos” in President Trump’s inner circle.
Aides admit they fear Manigault will, “say horrible things about the team she was a member of until yesterday.”
Already, Manigault told ABC’s Nightline that serving as one of the only people of color in the Trump administration was a “very lonely” experience, adding that her White House coworkers, “had never worked with minorities, didn’t know how to interact with them.”
Earlier in the day, she told Good Morning America:
I have seen things that have made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people.
Black Twitter immediately responded that Manigault does not belong to their community, having sold out to President Trump’s white supremacist administration.

Needless to say, Omarosa — Trump’s Apprentice protégée — is leaving the White House feeling more than a little disgruntled. When indignance marries a love of media attention, a perfect storm will brew.
When she does spill the beans, there will inevitably be plenty of beans to spill. There are no end of stories of chaos in the current administration.
Sharing dysfunction to the press is one thing, however. Sharing the ominous truths at the heart of that chaos to Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller would be entirely another.
If, as rumor has it, Trump spoke to Manigault as a confidante, she may have quite a song to sing. If she does, the press will be the least of the White House’s worries.
