Former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman said President Trump's mental decline "could not be denied" while he appeared for an interview with NBC News's Lester Holt in 2017, according to an excerpt in her new book obtained by The Daily Mail.
"'While watching the interview I realized that something real and serious was going on in Donald's brain," she writes in "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House," which is set to be released on Aug. 14.
"His mental decline could not be denied.'"
Manigault-Newman added that "many didn't notice it as keenly as I did because I knew him way back when. They thought Trump was being Trump, off the cuff. But I knew something wasn't right."
Her comments were published by the Daily Mail over a year after Trump sat down with Holt for an interview that quickly grabbed Washington's attention. Among other things, Trump said that “regardless of recommendation" he was going to fire former FBI Director James Comey.
