Omarosa Manigault, director of communications for the White House’s office of public liaison, has resigned.
According to sources, Manigault who earns $180,000 per annum will leave the White House on January 20, 2018, exactly one year after President Donald Trump took office.
It is not immediately clear why Omarosa resigned but the 43-year-old, who recently married John Newman, a Florida-based pastor, has been struggling to keep her job and family.
A source said Omarosa’s departure is connected to the “internal war” within Trump cabinet.
