WASHINGTON — Omarosa Manigault Newman, the controversial former assistant to President Trump, is about to hit the speaking circuit.

Newman has signed up to be represented by a Massachusetts-based speakers firm after her recent high-profile ouster from the White House, according to people familiar with the deal and the firm’s website.

In a yet-to-be-announced deal, Newman has joined American Programs Bureau, a top booking firm headquartered in Newton whose speakers sometimes command more than $50,000 an appearance. The prestigious firm also represents celebrities such as Larry King, Al Pacino, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, and Sarah Palin.

“Rising from the depths of extreme poverty to become the only African American senior advisor to the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump, Omarosa Manigault Newman is one of the most dynamic keynotes in the speaking world today,” reads Newman’s biography on the APB website.
