Former Apprentice villain Omarosa Manigault Newman will reportedly leave her role as President Trump's director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison next month to "pursue other opportunities," the White House said Wednesday.
Manigault Newman's role in the White House has always been a bit befuddling, even to insiders. Formerly the Trump campaign's director of African-American outreach, Manigault Newman's White House tenure was most famously marked by when she brought "members of her 39-person bridal party to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for an extended wedding photo shoot," Politico reports. (She was banned from posting the photos.)
