HOLY GRAIL:  Omarosa spills on the National Enquirer "vault" where Trump's worst secrets are hidden

A former cast member from Donald Trump’s reality game show “The Apprentice” is claiming that retired National Enquirer CEO David Pecker has evidence that could be “damaging to Trump’s reputation.”

Such as it is.

Omarosa Manigault Newman, who briefly worked in the Trump White House before becoming fully disillusioned with her role, says that Pecker kept a safe specifically to store all of the dirt he had on Trump.

The perfectly-named Pecker — who gave plenty of damning testimony to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg — has admitted to protecting Trump for decades with what’s known in journalism as “catch and kill,” where damaging stories are kept from leaking if enough blood money crosses the right palms.

The photos and videos contain images Trump would never want to be publicized, Omarosa told MSNBC‘s Alex Witt on Saturday.

Don’t make your brain work too hard on that one, you need to eat again someday. Instead, just sip on this piping hot Trump tea:

“A little after I left ‘The Apprentice,’ I went to go work for AMI for David Pecker and ‘OK Magazine,'” Omarosa spilled. “David was also launching a new project called ‘Reality Weekly Magazine,’ so I was the West Coast editor.”

Omarosa then went on to explain just how the whole “catch and kill” thing went down. Pecker specifically employed a West Coast staffer named Dylan whose sole job was to track down Trump stories and kill them.

“There was this infamous vault that they had at the Enquirer allegedly,” she told Witt, “that kept all of this information about Donald.”

And Lordy, there are tapes!

And pictures! And secrets that “David kept safe for Donald Trump and they were overseen by his chief, Dylan,” Omarosa said.

While she apparently thought nothing of it at the time, Omarosa’s memory was jogged after Trump was arrested and formally charged with 34 felony indictments.

“So fast forward to the indictment,” Omarosa teased, “I’m reading a lot of the rumors that I heard when I worked at the magazine, they were confirmed in the indictment.”

I’m not at all surprised, considering we’ve heard about this vault for a while now. But it apparently was new information to Alex Witt, who clearly hasn’t been keeping up.

I also wonder if that safe is the same one where Trump keeps his dirt on the Republican Party.

Now THAT’S the vault I really want to break into. Starting with “Leningrad Lindsey.”
