Omarosa Intimates She Has Been Contacted by Mueller Probe

Omarosa Manigault Newman says she will cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation if she is contacted again.

"If his office calls again . . . anything they want, I'll share," Manigault Newman told MSNBC's Chris Matthews on "Hardball" as part of her ongoing press tour for her new White House memoir "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House."

"Anything that they want, I'll certainly cooperate."

Mueller is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, and is also looking into whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice when he reportedly asked then-FBI Director James Comey to drop his investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Manigault Newman, a former contestant on NBC's "The Apprentice," joined the Trump campaign as the Director of African American Outreach during the 2016 Republican National Convention. She then served in a communications role in Trump's administration, but was fired by chief of staff John Kelly last December after just one year in her position.

The former White House aide released a secret recording Sunday of her purported conversation with Kelly in the Situation Room, saying he "threatened" her while firing her. Another recording released Monday is purportedly a phone conversation between President Donald Trump and Manigault Newman where Trump suggests he was disappointed in the firing.

"There's a lot of very corrupt things that are happening in the White House, and I am going to blow the whistle on a lot of this," she told the "Today Show" on Monday morning.

Manigault Newman told NBC's "Meet the Press" she secretly recorded a number of conversations in the White House for her own protection. She also told MSNBC's Matthews she has "plenty" of those recordings.
