Dismissed Trump aide Omarosa Manigault gave an explosive exit interview to Good Morning America on Thursday. She said she resigned her position, that she was not fired. In fact, Manigault claims her resignation isn't effective until January the 20th. Manigault's official title is Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison.
GMA host Michael Strahan asked her to explain reports that she was distressed with President Trump's reaction to Charlottesville and his public support of Roy Moore. Manigault said she has to be "very careful" about her response because, according to her, "I have to go back and work with these individuals."
"I have to be very careful about how I answer this but there were a lot of things that I observed during the last year that I was very unhappy with, that I was very uncomfortable with, things that I observed, that I heard, that I listened to," she said.
However, in true reality show fashion, Omarosa teased she has a "story to tell" and she will do so when she officially leaves the White House.
"But when I have a chance to tell my story to tell -- quite a story -- as the only African-American woman in this White House, as a senior staff and assistant to the president, I have seen things that have made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people and when I can tell my story, it is a profound story that I know the world will want to hear," Omarosa promised.
"I had more access than most and people had problems with that, people had problems with my 14-year relationship with this president. I’ve always been loyal to him," she said.
Omarosa, however, did not bash Trump.
