According to reports, she wants the chance “to pursue other opportunities.” But we know from the past that it’s basically the canned answer.

“Omarosa Manigault Newman resigned yesterday to pursue other opportunities,” Sanders said in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner. “Her departure will not be effective until January 20, 2018. We wish her the best in future endeavors and are grateful for her service.”

I should also add…some people say she was fired.

I am hearing from several sources there was a lot of drama at the White House last night and it wasn’t about the Alabama election. #fired. Stay tuned

The true circumstances surrounding her departure might always be a mystery. All I know is, she’s out.
