either way, everything that omarosa manigault newman has been saying on the airwaves will undoubtedly get the attention to some degree of the special counsel. whether or not they'll take it seriously or not remains to be seen. but it was striking to hear her say she's interviewed with the special counsel and is open to meeting with him again. >> phil rucker, how concerned are people in the white house, not knowing what else is out there? >> andrea, there's concern because omarosa has said she has many, many more tapes. it's unclear what those tapes contain. it's unclear if she has any more recordings, for example, that include president trump or that include general kelly. she was in a lot of senior staff meetings because she was a senior staffer in the white house. did she record those meetings? are there things that are going to come out that will simply embarrass some of her colleagues? the president clearly could not restrain himself, so they're fully engaged now in trying to defend the president and defend the white house from her allegations but they simply don't know what else

has the attention of the white house, the release of a tell-all back by former trump aide omarosa manigault-newman, and of course the rehelease of a recording of her firing by chief of staff john kelly. omarosa has some credibility issues, of course. so what impact might her book have and what might the ramification be of her recording a conversation in the situation room? >> first of all, there's a question of whether or not the recording will alter the impact that her book has. and suspect once again not. we've seen things coming out of this white house which are unethical, which are different from what we've seen in other white houses. so i think once again if you look at the public reaction there will be a lack of surprise. it also isn't the first time we're going to see a book come out that tells a lot about this white house, about this president. go back to michael wolf, "fire and fury." and in the short-term there's a big reaction, and then it seems to sort of fade into oblivion almost as the frez has tonpresi continued to deflect. certainly it's things that come out that affect the credibi
