During her ongoing media tour, the former White House aide has released tapes of conversations she’s had with Trump campaign officials, Kelly and the president himself.





In the meantime, the White House has already fired back. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders slammed Manigault Newman at her press conference on Tuesday, calling for the media to stop giving her a platform.

The president has attacked her on Twitter and defending her firing, tweeting Tuesday, “When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!”

Harder and the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Hill.
