Omarosa Manigault, wife of Jacksonville pastor, to leave White House
Donald Trump notches a loss in the fight against Omarosa.Manigault Newman.

Omarosa

Back in June, one of President Donald Trump‘s chief aides — Omarosa Manigault — received a Jacksonville delegation at the White House.

Manigault has a Jacksonville connection. She recently married Jacksonville Pastor John Newman, and she is spending many weekends here in Duval County.

After Wednesday, Manigault will have more weekends in Duval County — but likely won’t be receiving Jacksonville delegations at the White House ever again.

The White House issued a terse statement: “Omarosa Manigault Newman resigned yesterday to pursue other opportunities. Her departure will not be effective until January 20, 2018. We wish her the best in future endeavors and are grateful for her service.”

However, reports are that she got run.

White House reporter April Ryan tweeted that “Sources say General [John] Kelly did the firing and Omarosa is alleged to have acted very vulgar and cursed a lot and said she helped elect President Trump. The word is a General Kelly had it and got rid of her.”
