Omarosa tripped White House alarms after being fired: report

The Hill   "Trump administration aide Omarosa Manigault Newman reportedly set off White House alarms in an attempt to gain access to the residence after learning that she had been fired from her job.

"According to a report from CBS News, Manigault Newman tried to enter the White House residence after chief of staff John Kelly told her that her employment in the administration would end in January.

"Manigault Newman, a former contestant on NBC's “The Apprentice,” has served as the director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison. 

"April Ryan, a journalist with American Urban Radio Networks, reported during an on-air appearance with CNN that "everything blew up" when Kelly attempted to discuss Manigault Newman's walk-in privileges and access to Trump.

"Ryan reported Manigault Newman saying that "all hell will break loose" if she lost walk-in privileges. Kelly, according to Ryan, said "OK, all hell is going to break loose."

"Kelly reportedly began restricting Manigault Newman's access in September.
The White House said Wednesday that Manigault Newman provided her 
"Resignation and that her last day of employment would be Jan. 20. The White House did not confirm that Manigault Newman was fired." . . .

Even the President's own family has been restricted in their access:   New reports surfaced Saturday claiming White House Chief of Staff General Kelly is trying to restrict Jared Kushner’s unfettered access to the President.  "The White House Chief of Staff isn’t just working to restrict Kushner’s access to President Trump.
"A new report by Axios is claiming General Kelly is shielding President Trump from any negative reports on his DACA stance. Staffers can no longer walk into the Oval Office and hand Trump a Breitbart article or a printout of tweets showing how angry his supporters are over amnesty.
"The only way staffers can meet with President Trump is through General Kelly which means they have to submit an official, documented, request to meet with him.
According to the POLITICO report, President Trump has been casually surveying people close to him about whether having his family members in the government is creating too much noise.
"Both Jared and Ivanka have reportedly taken kindly to the new rules set by John Kelly."   Emphasis added by TD
