The train-wreck of Omarosa is still plowing up ground with its ongoing derailment
The train-wreck of Omarosa Manigault-Newman is still plowing up ground with its ongoing derailment, but now it has taken yet another terrible turn after Omarosa was caught in a major lie that is so bad even Trump’s enemies are calling her out.
One of Omarosa’s latest claims is that she was contacted by or has spoken to Special Counsel Mueller’s investigators.
Right off such a meeting seems unlikely because Omarosa was brought in at the White House long after Trump started his presidential campaign. So, she would not likely have any information at all about those early days of the campaign.
In fact, even her firing seems to show she was never in Trump’s inner circle because it was done by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, not Trump himself.
Also, who imagines that anyone who knows anything about “Russia collusion” would have trusted this nut enough to spill the beans to her? And from the harsh things insiders are saying about her, it would be unlikely that anyone would choose her as a confidante.
Furthermore, there is not a single report out there by reporters who have miraculously “found” the leaked info from Mueller’s office that says Omarosa’s name was ever on any witness or interview list.
Well, now these well-known, Trump-hating reporters are scoffing at Omarosa’s claims about team Mueller.
Take ABC’s Katherine Faulders, for instance. Faulders slammed the claim saying, “Sources tell me and @Santucci that the team that worked with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office for interviews with Trump administration employees never had @OMAROSA on their list and the special counsel never requested to speak with her while she was a WH employee.”

So much for Omarosa’s desperate attempt to be seen as relevant to the Mueller investigation. Clearly she is full of stuff on this.
But that isn’t the only thing that Omarosa has lied about.
In her badly selling book, Omarosa made a list of claims about salacious incidents she says occurred in the White House, but the people she says were involved are now calling her out as a liar.
One claim in her book is that Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, saw Trump eat a piece of paper in front of him. Cohen has called that claim an outright lie.
“To the many dozens of #journalists who called me, questioning @OMAROSA claim in her new book that @POTUS @realDonaldTrump took a note from me, put it in his mouth and ate it…I saw NO such thing and am shocked anyone would take this seriously,” he tweeted on August 12.

Another person calling Omarosa a liar is pollster Frank Luntz, himself no fan of Trump.
Luntz is mad that Omarosa claimed in her book that he heard Trump use the n-word. He says he never heard any such thing.
“I’m in @Omarosa’s book on page 149. She claims to have heard from someone who heard from me that I heard Trump use the N-word,” Luntz tweeted on August 10. “Not only is this flat-out false (I’ve never heard such a thing), but Omarosa didn’t even make an effort to call or email me to verify. Very shoddy work.”

“It seems like certain book publishers these days care more about getting a release out than getting the facts down,” Luntz added in a follow up tweet. “This is why people don’t trust these “exposés,” which is especially bad for authors who actually are good and reliable.”
Luntz also appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show recently to slam Omarosa’s “lies.”
This woman is a serial liar. Nothing she says should be taken seriously.
