On the same day Donald Trump called Omarosa, "... that Dog" in a Tweet, Ms. Manigault Newman revealed that then-candidate Trump was aware of the hacked emails before WikiLeaks publicly released them in July of 2016 during the Democratic National Convention.
What follows is a partial nonverbal analysis of three crucial moments during an interview Ms. Manigault Newman gave on 14 August 2018 with Katie Tur.
KATIE TUR [continuing at 2:07, over-talking]: ... You say corruption, but do you mean coordination? Anything that Robert Mueller would be interested in whether Donald Trump was coordinating with Russia - 'r he knew about the emails during the campaign - that sort of thing?
OMAROSA MANIGAULT: I think that he should come clean with the American people. I think that he should be honest about what he did during the campaign AND - what he continues to do at the White House.
KATIE TUR: You were instructed, according to your book - to bring up the emails at every point you could at the end of the twen - twenty sixteen campaign?
OMAROSA MANIGAULT [over-talking]: That's, that's correct.
KATIE TUR [over-talking]: Hillary Clinton's emails?
OMAROSA MANIGAULT: Yes. That was our talker. We were to talk -
KATIE TUR [over-talking]: Did Donald Trump know about those emails before they came out?
OMAROSA MANIGAULT: Absolutely Ω
KATIE TUR: He knew about them.
OMAROSA MANIGAULT: Yes
KATIE TUR: He knew what was coming out before WikiLeaks released them
OMAROSA MANIGAULT [over-talking]: Yes §
KATIE TUR: You're saying Donald Trump had a back channel.
OMAROSA MANIGAULT: I didn't say that. You did. But I will say that -
KATIE TUR [over-talking]: How did you know [inaudible] this?
OMAROSA MANIGAULT: - I am going to expose the corruption that went on in the campaign and in the White House ∆ (tight tongue jut, 2:56). I'm going to continue to blow the whistle on all of this.
During 2:42 (notated in the dialog by the Ω symbol), in her response to Katie Tur's question, "Did Donald Trump know about those emails before they came out?", Omarosa Manigault Newman exhibits a classic Contempt display just after she says, "Absolutely".
Four seconds later, during 2:46 (just after she says, "Yes", notated in the dialog by the § symbol), Ms. Manigault Newman exhibits a very telling combination of Contempt coupled with a Suppressed Smile.
The particular amalgam of:
• Contempt
• Suppressed Smile
... is indicative of Schadenfreude.
Schadenfreude is a German word describing "the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another." (Wikipedia)
During 2:56 (notated in the dialog by the ∆ symbol), just after she says, "I am going to expose the corruption that went on in the campaign and in the White House", Ms. Manigault Newman displays a Tight Tongue Jut.
A Tight Tongue Jut (not to be confused with a Loose Tongue Jut or a Wide Open Tongue Jut which have completely different meanings) indicates the thought emotions of:
• Disgust
• Disdain
• Repulsion
While the closing of one's eyelids is not a required component of a tight tongue jut, in this cluster scenario such a dynamic indicates an amplification of her emotions.
SUMMARY: Nonverbal Analysis of Omarosa Manigault Newman during this video interview indicates she believes that then-candidate Donald Trump had foreknowledge of hacked emails released by WikiLeaks. She is being truthful.
Moreover, Ms. Manigault Newman also feels disgust, disdain, repulsion, contempt, and schadenfreude towards President Trump.
