Did Omarosa Break The Law?

Former White House staffer Omarosa Maginault-Newnan could be facing legal problems for secretly recording conversations with President Trump inside the White House. National security concerns have been raised since Newman acknowledged that she had tapes of conversations between her and the president.

According to The Daily Wire:

White House lawyers are examining legal options for punishing Omarosa Manigault Newman for releasing secretly taped recordings with Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly inside the secure Situation Room.

“The very idea a staff member would sneak a recording device into the White House Situation Room, shows a blatant disregard for our national security –- and then to brag about it on national television further proves the lack of character and integrity of this disgruntled former White House employee,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said on Sunday.

Former Trump spokesman Sean Spicer also said Newman could face legal problems for the secret taping in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, known as a SCIF.

“It’s an unbelievable violation of protocol and the law,” Spicer said. “You can lose your security clearance for bringing your device into SCIF — to bring it in is a violation but to willfully record it — you’re entering a whole other realm.”

President Trump weighed in on the former staffer who looks to be heading towards serious legal trouble.
 

Omarosa has a new book out in which she makes some salacious unfounded claims about the president. It remains to be seen whether any of her claims are true.
