US President Donald Trump denied former White House aide's allegations that he had used a racist slur, saying that no tapes of him using this kind of language on the TV show The Apprentice existed and the word was not in his vocabulary.

Omarosa Manigault-Newman, fired from the White House in January, is currently promoting her book "Unhinged". She has recently revealed a series of details about the president, including the existence of an audio tape on which he is allegedly using racist language.

​Omarosa Manigault-Newman, who had been a contestant on Trump's The Apprentice, reportedly has not personally heard Trump use the slur, but learned about such occurrences and of the existence of the tape from other people.

White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders released a statement calling Manigault Newman's actions "blatant disregard for our national security" because staffers are not allowed to bring recording devices in the secure Situation Room.
