Omarosa Manigault-Newman may have secretly recorded confidential White House discussions and is seeking to hire an attorney out of concern she could get ensnared in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, the Daily News reports.
"Everyone knows Omarosa loves to record people and meetings using the voice notes app on her iPhone," an unnamed source told the Daily News. "Don’t be surprised if she has secret audio files on everyone in that White House, past and present staffers included."
The former "Apprentice" contestant's penchant for recording was behind a recent directive in the White House banning personal smartphones et al in the West Wing, the Daily News reports.
Omarosa's official last day at the White House is Saturday after a conflicting and explosive turn of events regarding her employment before the Christmas break.
The director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison has met with high-powered attorneys Lisa Bloom and Monique Pressley, among others, the Daily News reports.
The Daily News reports that Omarosa is "very concerned" that she may yet be a target of Mueller's Russia probe.
However, a source told the Daily News that Omarosa is fantasizing about her own self-importance and would not have any information of interest to Mueller or book publishers.
