Link to tweet
Omarosa Manigault, the former Apprentice star turned White House communications official threatened American Urban Radio Networks White House correspondent April Ryan last week insisting Donald Trump officials have dossiers of incriminating information on her and other journalists, the Washington Post reports.
The encounter reportedly occurred just outside the West Wing last Wednesday, near White House Press Secretary Sean Spicers office. The crux of the argument was over an email Manigualt sent to Ryan last October, demanding to known whether the journalist was paid by former Democratic candidate Hillary Clintons campaign...
Ryan vigorously denied Manigaults charge, insisting the former Apprentice star is trying to harm my integrity and my career.
Ryan said during the altercation, Manigault stood right in my face like she was going to hit me.
I said, You better back up, Ryan added. She thought I would be bullied. I wont be.

(55,445 posts)against Hillary as her "evidence".
In October, Manigault sent Ryan an email raising questions about whether Ryan was being paid by Hillary Clintons campaign a claim Ryan vigorously denies. Manigault included a link to an article from the Intercept, which covers national security issues.
The article detailed the Clinton campaigns effort to secure favorable media coverage by manipulating reporters; it included a list compiled by Clinton staffers of TV surrogates who were part of the campaign. It published a separate list of journalists, including Ryan, whom the campaign hoped to influence but were not paid by the Clintons.
This story suggests that as a reporter, you are (or were) a paid Clinton surrogate, Manigault wrote in the email. I pray this is not true! This could be hurtful to your legacy and the integrity of your work.

.....Manigault has a history of threatening peopleparticularly those critical of the Trump administration. Discussing Trump critic Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) at Trumps election night party in New York, Manigault told the Independent Journal Review, its so great our enemies are making themselves clear so that when we get in to the White House, we know where we stand.
Let me just tell you, Mr. Trump has a long memory and were keeping a list, she added.
Manigault made similar comments even before Trumps election. In September, she bragged that, every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump.....

(9,350 posts)According to twitter Omarosa's response was that Ryan's claim was fake news. Each journalist should get some form of a secret recording device and use it when talking to members of the Trump Administration. If journalists can get recordings of Trump officials those officials will not be able to deny their actions.
