WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump continued his attacks on his former ally and employee Omarosa Manigault Newman on Twitter on Tuesday, calling his former aide a "dog."
Trump praised White House Chief of Staff John Kelly for firing his former director of communications for the White House Public Liaison Office and contestant on his show "The Apprentice."
"When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn't work out," he said. "Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!"
Trump has used the expression "fired like a dog" in the past, but has not publicly referred to anyone as "that dog"
The tweet came as CBS News played an October 2016 tape that it said was provided by Manigault Newman in which Lynn Patton, an aide to then-candidate Trump's son Eric, Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson and campaign communications director Jason Miller discussed how to spin a tape from "The Apprentice" in which Trump used the n-word.
Pierson on the Fox News Channel on Monday night denied the conversation took place.
On Monday, Trump described Manigault Newman as "wacky" after she released recordings of her time in the White House and alluding to the n-word tape.
Around his attack on Manigault Newman, Trump also commented on an apparent terrorist attack in London in which a car crashed into a crowd near Westminster.
And he also continued venting against the investigation by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
