"Omarosa Manigault Newman released more secret tapes Thursday, which she says back up her claim that President Donald Trump sought to pay for her silence, and she promised to release more if Trump continues to "challenge" her.

In an interview with MSNBC, she produced selected four clips of a secretly recorded phone conversation with Eric Trump's wife Lara, who is a top official in his re-election campaign.

In the clips, Lara Trump is heard offering to pay Omarosa $15,000 a month for a "flexible" campaign job in exchange for remaining silent about what she saw during her year working at the White House.

She said it was a sign of the "corruption" in the Trump White House, in his family and in his campaign.

"This is just the beginning of the kind of corruption going on in Trumpland and I am here to blow the whistle," she said.

This was December 2017, Omarosa had just been fired and already stories were appearing that suggested she might be publicly critical, Lara Trump suggested.

"It sounds a little like, obviously, that there are some things you've got in the back pocket to pull out. Clearly, if you come on board the campaign, like, we can't have, we got to ...," Lara Trump is heard saying.

At that point, Omarosa is heard saying, "Oh, God, no."

"Everything, everybody, positive, right?" Lara Trump says.

Omarosa said she believes she was being told she could say nothing negative about Trump or any of his family in public.

“She made it very clear that if I joined this campaign, I would have to keep quiet,” Omarosa said. "I saw it as an attempt to buy me off and buy my silence and pay me $15,000 to keep my silence." She said she declined the job.

In response, Lara Trump issued a statement later Thursday calling the latest secret tapes a "fraud," according to the Associated Press. She said she called Omarosa with a job offer because the family cared about her and it was before she knew about the alleged "gross violations of ethics and integrity" that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly cited as justification for her firing.

"Woman to woman, I shared a connection with Omarosa as a friend and a campaign sister, and I am absolutely shocked and saddened by her betrayal and violation on a deeply personal level," the president's daughter-in-law said in her statement.

This latest interview with Omarosa comes as she is continuing her promotional tour for her new tell-all book, "Unhinged," which references this conversation. Details from the book began pouring out even before it was released Tuesday.

The clips she released do not include the entire context of the conversation, but she said she believes they back up what she says in the book."

I wonder how Omarosa manages to skirt the Federal wire tapping statutes. I'm sure that Trump has an army of government lawyers looking for ways to silence her

Washington, D.C. is a one-party consent jurisdiction when it comes to recording conversations, meaning that it’s not legally necessary for everyone in a conversation to be aware of or consent to having a conversation recorded.  The only thing they can do is strip her of her security clearance which I doubt she still has.  And, unless the recordings captured discussions related to national defense, she’s in the clear.
