There Is Nothing Omarosa Can Say or Do That Could Possibly Matter
Omarosa Manigault Newman is on the talk-show circuit this week to promote her forthcoming book, Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House, which promises salacious details about the administration’s inner workings. The biggest revelations so far have to do with three recordings: a rumored Apprentice-era tape of Donald Trump saying the N-word; a tape of chief of staff John Kelly firing Manigault Newman in the White House Situation Room, where recording devices are typically prohibited; and a recording of a phone call in which Trump claims he didn’t know she’d been fired.
Manigault Newman claims to have heard the N-word recording, though her book says she only heard about it from a few people in the know. The other two tapes are Manigault Newman’s own—she made them, and she’s been broadcasting them strategically in advance of her book’s Aug. 14 release date. She played the Kelly recording on Meet the Press on Saturday and the Trump recording on the Today show Monday morning, and anonymous White House officials told ABC News that they believe she has even more tapes, perhaps recorded with some kind of audio-capturing pen.
But even if Manigault Newman and her tapes say exactly what the president’s opponents want to hear—that he’s a racist, that he’s a bumbling idiot, that he has no control over his own White House—her “insider’s account” will never be as satisfying as the anti-Trump resistance might hope. The first problem is the source. Manigault Newman, like the president, is an opportunist built for and by reality television. Her willingness to do anything for notoriety, including but not limited to playing the villain on a corny game show and signing up for a role in a racist presidential administration, makes her an unreliable narrator.
Whether Manigault Newman is lying or telling the truth feels beside the point.

The true perpetrators in the White House were careful to exclude Omarosa from any meetings where they discussed the real crimes, such as conspiracy with the Russians. They already knew what a trouble maker she was, and that's why she was relegated to "Office of Public Liaison" whatever that is. She basically had no duties or job description that anybody knew about.
Yes maybe she heard Trump say the N-word, but it would have happened on the set of The Apprentice almost 20 years ago. If it was such a big deal in her mind, why didn't she say something then? Omarosa took her White House job for one year as a payoff for delivering black votes to Trump - all 8 of them. 
Michael Wolff's book "Fire and Fury" barely mentions Omarosa, and yet he has extensive quotes from Steve Bannon, Hope Hicks, Sean Spicer, Reince Priebus, and many others. I'm probably going to read Omarosa's book, but with a huge grain of salt. Her book will be as self-serving as everything else she does.
