The reliability of Omarosa Manigault‘s claims about what’s been going on in the Trump White House is coming under some question.

To recap: Manigault has claimed that there’s tape of Trump saying the N-word, she spotted him chewing on a piece of paper in the Oval Office, there was a clash over a tanning bed, etc.

She even claims that she was offered hush money after leaving.

There’s one claim in particular concerning pollster Frank Luntz and Trump’s use of the N-word that Luntz said was flatly untrue:

I’m in @Omarosa’s book on page 149. She claims to have heard from someone who heard from me that I heard Trump use the N-word. Not only is this flat-out false (I’ve never heard such a thing), but Omarosa didn’t even make an effort to call or email me to verify. Very shoddy work. — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) August 10, 2018

It seems like certain book publishers these days care more about getting a release out than getting the facts down. This is why people don’t trust these “exposés,” which is especially bad for authors who actually are good and reliable. https://t.co/tkFyrtdOMW — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) August 10, 2018
