The Secret Service pushed back on claims about Omarosa Manigault Newman being physically escorted from the White House after she was fired by Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly. American Urban Radio Network‘s April Ryan claimed Omarosa was removed from “campus,” after causing “drama.”
“Reporting regarding Secret Service personnel physically removing Omarosa Manigault Newman from the @WhiteHouse complex is incorrect,” the Secret Service tweeted.
