Omarosa Manigault, a senior staff member of President Donald Trump’s administration and a former Apprentice cast member, got married in Trump’s Washington DC hotel this morning.
43-year-old Omarosa, married Pastor John Allen Newman, 61, at the Old Post Pavilion in Trump Hotel, a stone’s throw from the White House, Politico reports.
About 70 people attended the wedding in the hotel’s Presidential Ballroom, which was followed by a brunch and reception.
Donald Trump and other White House senior staff, following Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit and amid the US airstrike on Syria, remained at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and were not able to attend.
Attendees included Lynne Patton, a long-time Trump assistant, and administration aide, Niecy Nash of Reno 911! fame and Katrina Pierson, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign.
The newlyweds walked into the lobby arm-in-arm, with Omarosa waving a bouquet of pink and white roses.
