public. all the money that we raise and that pays salaries is directly from donors. small dollar donors for the most part. i know you are making 179 at the white house. i think we can work something out where we keep you right along those lines. specifically, let me see, i haven t even added up the numbers, but we are talking about like 15k a month. let me see what that adds up to. yeah, $180,000. does that sound like a fair deal for you? that was aired on craig melvin s hour. this is what lara trump had to say yesterday about this. a firm statement. she writes, i m absolutely shocked and saddened by her betrayal and violation on a deeply personal level. i hope it s all worth it for you. omarosa, because some things you just can t put a price on. jonathan, your reaction, and what have we learned from that tape? is there anything absolutely damning in the recording?
on our team, because we cared so much about her personally. that s why i reached out to offer her a position with the 2020 trump campaign before we knew anything about the gross violations of ethics e and integrity during her white house tenure. another one of omarosa s bombshell tapes is a fraud. the discussions about the position with the campaign took place in numerous phone calls over the course of several weeks. and lara trump ended by speaking directly to omarosa saying this, i hope it s all worth for you, omarosa, because some things you just can t put a price on. with us now, cnn national security analyst, julie kayyem. also with us, former cia intelligence officer, david priess, who wrote the book, the president s book of secrets. welcome to both of you. and julia, just on this, again, your takeaway is that it s the family protecting the president. it is. it s just like the nondisclosure agreements or at least the ones
all that they were trying to pay omarosa to remain with the campaign and be, quote/unquote, positive. which is what they were worried about after they saw that piece in the new york times, in which omarosa hinted, very strongly, that there was more to come. there s one interesting part of this statement, at the very end of it, brooke, where she says lara trump says to omarosa, i hope it s all worth it for you, omarosa, because some things you just can t put a price on. so, there you are. not friends anymore, i would have to say. nope. not friends. and barrett, you re saying, your takeaway just listening to this conversation is that essentially, it was a no-show job. that s exactly right. and there could be significant legal implications on this. how so? look, on the one hand, if they were actually offering her a job for this kind of money, perhaps there s no problem. but it doesn t really seem like they were actually offering her a legitimate job.
you, omarosa, because some things you just can t put a price on. he is not here to make friends. and look if you create an administration of reality show villains you will have an administration of reality show villains. she explained the role. i think the conversation is sort of so obvious. it s almost sort of like comical. everybody stay positive. of course. it s a little bit like wink, wink, nudge, nudge. i think they should be more practiced at this at the very least. bill, i want to ask you about this because this is the job laura trump is describing. i want to ask you how common this sounds to you. i really feel like your position would require you to be
there are things that i m going to save to share when the time is right. welcome back. leaks, tapes, blind quotes and court battles. it s another day or episode of president trump s inner circle. this afternoon former white house aide omarosa manigault newman released another tape that she said depicts president trump s daughter-in-law and 2020 campaign official lara trump attempting to buy my silence by offering her a job with the trump campaign days after she left the white house. lara trump responded in a statement that says in part, we never would have imagined that one of our own was secretly recording all of our private conversations. i hope it s all worth it for you, omarosa, because some things you just can t put a price on. this latest release comes as the president is reportedly furious with manigault newman. a source told gabe sherman in vanity fair that president trump told advisers that he wants attorney general jeff sessions to have manigault
