White House aide Omarosa Manigault tackling Pentagon racial bias in military justice

WASHINGTON — Top White House aide Omarosa Manigault has taken an interest in how race affects military justice, receiving a briefing from Pentagon officials on a recent report that found black troops are far more likely to face punishment than their white comrades, according to government officials.

Manigault, the top-ranking African American official inside the White House, visited the Pentagon last week and sought out information on the report by the advocacy group, Protect our Defenders, officials said. Among its findings — first reported by USA TODAY — is that black service members are as much as two times more likely than white troops to face discipline in an average years.
