3:41 am
surprised, as you heard on that recording, how no one doubted that he said ap for so long and everyone said he said it, he's embarrassed, he doesn't want it to come out, and now they're saying they have never heard these allegations. and it's ironic that these are high-level campaign staffers talking about how to react -- >> why were you taping? >> because the truth matters, gayle. and in fact if i didn't have this tape you would be wondering if in fact they did talk about it. she mentions kellyanne on the tape and she mentions she talked to kellyanne or kleeian discussed this with the president of the united states and now e! he's tweeting at me that he never said it, it's not in his vocabulary when he discussed this on trump force one during the campaign. >> but stepping back from the specifics of the tape, the question wa with everything you're saying and you're coming forward, you were taping during the campaign. >> oh, yeah. >> there is this question about your credibility and the fact you were kind of already taping things and work behind the
3:42 am
scenes during the campaign. had i father had an expression, you know, we can't hear you because your actions are speaking more loudly. why are people supposed to pay attention to what you're saying now when you're the kind of person who would be taping campaign press conferences -- or phone calls in the middle of the campaign? >> yes. i'm the kind of person who covers her own back. in trump world everyone lies. everyone says one thing one day and they change their story the next day. i wanted to have this type of documentation so that in the event i found myself in this position where as you said they're questioning my credibility, saying they never discussed the n word tape, they never heard these accusations, the presidential had never heard these accusation when's in fact this tape proves that they discussed it at high levels of the trump campaign. >> frank luntz said you never called him, e-mailed him. >> no, i didn't. >> but i've never heard the president use that word. >> in "unhinged" i never say i spoke to him. katrina pierson, the, ys on thag
3:43 am
that she communicated with him and that he had heard it. i speak very clearly in this chapter about what happened between katrina and frank luntz. he's absolutely right. i never spoke to him, never reached out to him. i was simply reporting what was on the tape -- >> he said it's not true. but why do you want to work in a world, as you say, where everybody lies? why do you want to be -- >> i've been in politics for 20 years. everybody lies in politics. i worked in the clinton administration during the monica lewinsky scandal when he first said he never had relations with her and we found out that that was a lie. i learned very early on in politics that this is a cutthroat world and you have to be tough. 20 years in the white -- in politics and i've learned some lessons. number one, you have to look out for yourself. and two, things change. relationships change. and people always protect themselves. you have to look out for yourself. >> there are conflicting reports as to when you first heard the tape where the president allegedly uses the n word. there are reports that you heard this last year while you were still working in the administration -- >> i didn't hear it last year.
3:44 am
>> when did you first hear it? >> i did not hear it until i closed the book and i had an opportunity to fly out to california and the person allowed me to hear it. had i heard it while i was working in the white house, i would have left immediately. >> so let's say the tape exists. now what? what is the purpose of -- so the tape comes out, we hear it. what do you hope will come out of this? >> the sad thing is as we saw with "access hollywood" it probably won't impact his base. i think that their support is baked in. but it does expose him for the racist that he is. >> you also said that you and the president in your book have a symbiotic relationship, that you two used each other. what is the nature of your relationship, omarosa? there's all sorts of rumors about you and donald trump. can you tell us what is the nature or what was the nature of your relationship? i know you're happily married-i just met your husband backstage. very nice. >> my very handsome, smart, talented husband. john alan newman. >> but what is the nature of your relationship? >> he was my mentor for many, many years. and in 2003 i wanted to be like
3:45 am
him. i grew up in extreme poverty in youngstown, ohio and i aspired to be a billionaire one day. and what better way to become a billionaire than to study under a billionaire? >> the two of you never had a romantic relationship? >> absolutely not. >> you've heard that rumor i'm sure. >> but that's a charge that's launched against successful women to kind of degrade them and undermine their success. i'm very well educated. i have incredible experience. and i have never had to leverage sex to get anywhere i needed to go. >> so what do you hope will come out of all of this? >> i think the truth matters, and i believe that we should keep the truth as a priority. and this administration, they struggle with the truth and they construct their own reality deceiving the american people. >> very quickly, you have everything you say in the book backed up by tape or e-mail? >> absolutely. if you see it in quotes, it can be verified, corroborated, and is well documented. >> it almost feels like a form of blackmail with the tapes. either release the -- >> i'm not asking for anything. i'm telling my story in "unhinged." if you get the book, you see the quotes, it is backed up and
3:46 am
verified. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. lilly.
