A former adviser to Donald Trump has released what she says is a tape of a phone call from the US president after her dismissal last year.
In the tape played on US TV channel NBC, a voice presumed to be Mr Trump’s expresses surprise at Omarosa Manigault Newman being fired the previous day.
“Nobody even told me about it,” the male voice can be heard saying.
She also released what is said to be a secretly recorded tape of White House chief of staff John Kelly firing her.
In response to a tell-all memoir by Ms Manigault Newman, due to be published this week, Mr Trump called her a “lowlife”, tweeting that “She never made it, never will”.
The White House described her as a “disgruntled” former employee.
President Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, says she may have broken the law by recording private conversations at the White House.
Ms Manigault Newman, who knew the president from her days as a star of The Apprentice reality TV show, advised him on African-American issues during the 2016 presidential campaign and went on to become director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison before being fired in December.
