Omarosa Manigault denied Thursday that she stormed the White House residence after being fired by Chief of Staff John Kelly, who she reportedly swore at in a dramatic exit from the White House two evenings ago during a Christmas Party. Manigault demanded evidence of her alleged tirade, calling a report that she did '100 percent false' and claiming she was the victim of a 'vendetta' from a reporter spreading the unverified account of her dismissal. 'I resigned, and I didn't do that in the residence as is being reported. John Kelly and I sat down in the Situation Room, which is a very secure, very quiet room in the White House and we had a very candid conversation,' Manigault said on ABC. 'And I wanted to make the one-year mark that was one of the goals that I set out to, and then get back to my life.' More than one news outlet has reported that Kelly fired Manigault, who is then said to have rushed the residence and demanded to talk to the president. A single reporter, longtime White … [Read more...] about I didn’t storm the Trumps’ residence, curse out John Kelly or disrupt a Christmas party and I WASN’T fired – it’s all a ‘vendetta’ by CNN star! Omarosa strikes back after White House departure

The U.S. Secret Service confirmed Wednesday evening that Omarosa Manigault had been terminated and her access to the White House complex revoked. In a tweet, the agency denied that its personnel was involved in the 'physically removing' of Manigault from the grounds, as reported. Manigault had also been said to be cursing and yelling at Chief of Staff John Kelly. A second message revealed that she no longer has clearance to be on the property, despite earlier claims from the White House that she would remain in the president's service until Jan. 20. 'The Secret Service was not involved in the termination process of Ms Manigault Newman or the escort off of the complex,' the tweet said. 'Our only involvement in this matter was to deactivate the individual's pass which grants access to the complex.' Later that hour, President Donald Trump signaled his desire for Manigault to exit her position gracefully. 'Thank you Omarosa for your service! I wish you continued success.'

Texan fire fighters are going door-to-door in a grim search for survivors and victims of Hurricane Harvey as hospitals and homes that were the last to be hit are evacuated.  Flood waters have receded enough in Houston for the recovery mission to begin, six days after the hurricane first made landfall, and there are increasing sightings of bodies floating in the flood water in Beaumont.  The official death toll across the entire Gulf Coast region is currently 39 but it is likely to become exponentially higher as the bodies of the dead are recovered.  The reality of the devastation is only now setting in with bodies floating through flood waters across the state and with many more likely trapped inside flooded homes.  Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said previously that he feared how many bodies his officers would find. His bleak outlook was echoed by Fire Department Chief Terry Garrison at a press conference late on Tuesday night.  Homeland Security Adviser Tom … [Read more...] about Grim search for victims begins: Death toll set to rise above 38 as rescuers launch desperate search for Harvey survivors after Katrina commander slammed the military response as ‘amateur hour’
