Former White House aide Omarosa Manigualt-Newman has been making the media rounds to promote her upcoming book “Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House.” Throughout the process, Omarosa has been releasing audio records that she secretly made during her time in the West Wing. One of the clips included her firing by John Kelly in the White House Situation Room, while other audio showed Donald Trump acting surprised she was fired.
Throughout the entire process, however, Omarosa has been teasing the fact that there is audio of the president using the n-word in a recording. Trump and his administration have vehemently denied those rumors, but now Omarosa has released new audio that suggests the audio may be out there.
Last Monday night, CBS News obtained a recording of several Trump advisers in what is allegedly a discussion about how to handle the audio of the president using the racial slur. Former Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson and Lynne Patton were among those discussing the situation with Omarosa on the call.
“I am trying to find at least what context it was used in to help us maybe try to figure out a way to spin it,” Pierson says. “No, he said it. He is embarrassed by it.”
It is important to note that during the call, neither Pierson nor Patton said they had actually heard the audio of the president using the n-word first-hand.

Pierson had previously denied on FOX News Monday night that the call ever took place. Omarosa leaked the audio to the press hours later.
Omarosa’s book, “Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House,” is set to release on Aug. 14. This is likely just the beginning of the latest reality drama involving Omarosa and her former boss.
