President Donald Trump teed off Saturday on two of his earliest supporters with choice words for former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman and current Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
As the president waited for an event at his private golf club, Trump National Bedminster in New Jersey, he tweeted his disdain for his current Attorney General Jeff Sessions as “scared stiff” and “Missing in Action.”
....Do you believe Nelly worked for Fusion and her husband STILL WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF “JUSTICE.” I have never seen anything so Rigged in my life. Our A.G. is scared stiff and Missing in Action. It is all starting to be revealed - not pretty. IG Report soon? Witch Hunt!

Later, inside his club, where he met with Bikers for Trump — who wore Make America Great Again hats and leather jackets — and other supporters, the president responded with a dramatic flourish to a question about whether he felt betrayed by the Manigault Newman -- one of the first White House hires, who once enjoyed unfettered access to him in the Oval Office.
Raising a hand to his mouth, he turned to reporters in the room and called her a “low-life.”

As reports of accounts inside the book leaked out, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders slammed Manigault Newman as a “disgruntled former White House staffer” whose book is "riddled with lies and false accusations."
“It’s sad that a disgruntled former White House employee is trying to profit off these false attacks, and even worse that the media would now give her a platform, after not taking her seriously when she had only positive things to say about the President during her time in the administration,” she added.
And Sanders is correct – both Manigault Newman and Trump once had a close relationship after she became a star contestant and popular villain on his hit reality TV show, “The Apprentice.”
Trump called Manigault Newman “wonderful,” “a very nice person” and a “very, very fine person” when she joined him on the campaign trail in 2016.
Manigault Newman went on to become Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison.

But now, Manigault Newman, who was a special liaison at the White House with the African American community, says Trump is trying to start a “race war.”

Manigault told the site Trump "wants to start a race war,” and added, “he's succeeding."
Today’s Google Doodle celebrates the 110th birthday of Mary Golda Ross, a math prodigy who became both the first female and Native American engineer at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, where she helped develop the rocket technology that launched America into space. Ross was born in Park Hill, Oklahoma, on August 9, 1908, and died nearly 100 years later on April 29, 2008, in Los Altos, California. She was the great-granddaughter of John Ross, the longest-serving chief of the Cherokee Nation. She said her heritage contributed to her academic success. “I was brought up in the Cherokee tradition of equal education for boys and girls,” Ross said, according to the Cherokee Nation’s website . After graduating from Northeastern State College in 1928 with a math degree, Ross became a high school teacher for several years. A brief spell in the civil service at the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C. followed before she enrolled on a master’s degree course in math at t...
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A municipal building in Virginia Beach, Va., was turned into a scene of carnage on Friday afternoon after a longtime public utilities employee began firing indiscriminately at his co-workers with a handgun, the authorities said, killing a dozen people and injuring several others before dying after an extended shootout with the police. It had been nearing closing time in an office offering some of the most mundane functions of city government, such as paying water bills and applying for building permits, when the employee began stalking through several floors firing at his colleagues, the authorities said. The loud bursts of gunfire sent workers scrambling and barricading their office doors. Zand Bakhtiari, 28, who works on the first floor of the city building where the shooting happened, looked out his window about 4 p.m. and saw people screaming and running. “I thought they were running to the scene of a bad car accident,” he said in a telephone inter...
