Omarosa Manigault on Meet the Press -- screesnhot
In an interview with MSNBC's Alex Witt, former White House aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman backed up Bob Woodward's claim of presidential aides discussing using the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
According to Omarosa, the hashtag #TFA -- for the 25th amendment -- was frequently used in the White House email and text chains when Trump went off the rails or made "insane" pronouncements.
According to to the former Apprentice star, who was unceremoniously fired by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, not only did senior staffers use the hashtag in text messages, but that it was used by "family members" when he acted incompetently or erratically. She did not clarify whether she was exchanging those internal White House texts with her own family or members of Trump's immediate family.
"It's embarrassing how much it was used," she confided, saying the internal texts "happened with family members, with staffers, with people who were in the agencies."
According to Omarosa, she has over 100 texts saved that show the hashtag being used.
