Why is the media ignoring the source/funding of the Omarosa salary offer?

Lara Trump says on the Omarosa tape - the source of her salary is "small-dollar donations"

i.e. Trumps grass roots supporters donations.

She prefaces that with the "everything is public" remark - which is basically saying "this is an open air bribe posing as a job"

What do you want to bet Cohen was using these funds too???

So - it's possible grassroots campaign donations went to Stormy Daniels - ala the Omarosa offer.

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. It is a profound story that I know the world will want to hear.

Ms. Newman has not elaborated, other than to say that she had been trying to raise “grave concerns” about an issue that would “affect the president in a big way.

she said that she “can’t wait to talk about his tweets in the future.”

I feel like no one would actually say that... I think that’s why some stay away.
