*Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman claims she was offered a $15,000k/per month hush money contract from Donald Trump’s campaign to keep quiet about her time in the administration, The Hill reports.
The former reality television star claims in her upcoming book, “Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House,” that she turned down the offer, according to an excerpt obtained by The Washington Post on Friday.
“The NDA attached to the email was as harsh and restrictive as any I’d seen in all my years of television,” she writes in the book.
Omarosa served as the director of communications for the White House’s Office of Public Liaison and said chief of staff John Kelly fired her because she was close to getting her hands on audio of Trump using a racial slur.
She cites three unnamed sources who claim to have heard Trump use the “N-word” repeatedly during the making of his reality TV show “The Apprentice” and there is a tape to prove it, according to Manigault.

As noted by msn.com, she also claims that she personally witnessed Trump use racial epithets about White House counselor Kellyanne Conway’s husband, George Conway, who is half Filipino.
At the time, she writes, she felt a “growing realization that Donald Trump was indeed a racist, a bigot and a misogynist. My certainty about the N-word tape and his frequent uses of that word were the top of a high mountain of truly appalling things I’d experienced with him, during the last two years in particular.”
Recalling her sudden departure, Omarosa says: “It had finally sunk in that the person I’d thought I’d known so well for so long was actually a racist. Using the N-word was not just the way he talks but, more disturbing, it was how he thought of me and African Americans as a whole.”
Following Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton, actor and comedian Tom Arnold claimed to have video of 45 using offensive language.
“I have the outtakes to “The Apprentice” where he says every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever,” Arnold told the Seattle-based radio station KIRO. “It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children.”
MGM, which owns the rights to “The Apprentice,” has resisted pressure to release the footage because of “various contractual and legal requirements.”
