Omarosa: Trump ‘dictated’ doctors’ letters about his medical history

Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed former President Trump “dictated” what doctors wrote about his medical history, making the allegation during a Tuesday evening CNN appearance.

“Let’s recall that Donald Trump dictated the letters that went out about his medical history, but doctors weren’t free to write what they want,” Manigault Newman said in a clip highlighted by Mediaite .

The former Trump White House aide endorsed Vice President Harris for the 2024 election and has been adamant about publicly chronicling her interactions with her former boss.

“Donald Trump dictated for every single doctor from his original doctor in 2015 to [medical adviser] Ronny Jackson, to the doctors that came on after that. The one thing about Donald Trump is that you will never see the truth about his weight, about his health,” she told Laura Coates on CNN.

Earlier in the interview, she recalled Trump’s bouts of forgetfulness in 2018. Manigault Newman highlighted his inability to remember key policy items and shared that he often forgot the names of Cabinet members.

She said journalists should be focused on reporting the lapses.

“I think they [reporters] should ask about his health in terms of his heart. They should ask, has Donald Trump ever had any issues with — for instance … has he ever had a stent,” Manigault Newman proposed. “I think a journalist should ask that and see if they’ll answer the true question. … But the truth is that they’ve been covering things up, and they have not been forthright with this country, and the nation needs to know what his true health status is.”

The former “The Apprentice” contestant was fired from the Trump administration in 2017 by chief of staff John Kelly, who cited “money and integrity issues.” Since her termination, Manigault Newman has released more than 200 clips of conversations inside the White House, including the Situation Room.
