Manigault Newman appeared on the first season of "The Apprentice." She worked in the White House's Office of Public Liaison for 11 months until she was fired by Chief of Staff John Kelly, after which she became an outspoken critic of Trump and wrote a tell-all memoir about her experience.
In an interview with The Hill after the release of her book in August 2018, she called Trump a "racist" who is "trying to undermine our democracy."
"I'm going to continue to blow the whistle about the things I saw," she told the Wall Street Journal in 2018.
Trump responded to her book in a series of tweets, calling her "wacky," "nasty," and "vicious, but not smart."
"When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems," he tweeted in 2018. "I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me — until she got fired!"
