WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman (all times local):

2:45 p.m.

Omarosa Manigault Newman says she's been interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating Russian election interference.

The former aide to President Donald Trump didn't say when she was interviewed and declined to provide any other details.

Appearing Tuesday on MSNBC, Manigault Newman also declined to say whether she's been called to sit before a grand jury.

She says, "I feel like my hands are tied because as you know I do love to communicate about the things that are going on in my life, but unfortunately I can't elaborate."

When asked if she has secretly taped audio recordings that would be of interest to Mueller, Manigault Newman says, "If he calls me, I certainly will participate with anything that he needs."

Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman says President Donald Trump's latest attack on her is evidence that he has "absolutely no respect" for women and African-Americans.

As the two clash over her tell-all book, Trump called Manigault Newman "that dog" Tuesday on Twitter.

She says in an interview on MSNBC: "If he would say that publicly, what else would he say about me privately?" She also says: "He has absolutely no respect for women, for African-Americans."

Manigault Newman says that Trump was "unfit to be in this office" and that he would give aides "derogatory nicknames."

Trump's campaign has filed an arbitration action against her, alleging breach of a secrecy agreement. She has acknowledged signing a confidentiality agreement with the campaign in 2016.

President Donald Trump's campaign is filing an arbitration action against former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman alleging breach of a secrecy agreement.

A campaign aide tells The Associated Press that it is filing the claim with the America Arbitration Association in New York, claiming her explosive new book and media tour breached her 2016 confidentiality agreement with the campaign. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Manigault Newman has acknowledged signing a confidentiality agreement with the campaign in 2016. She wrote in her book that after being fired from the White House in December 2017 was offered a $15,000 per month position with the Trump re-election effort in exchange for signing a new confidentiality agreement. She says she declined that offer.

President Donald Trump is calling his former adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman a "dog."

Manigault Newman has released several audio recordings from her time as a Trump assistant at the White House, including one with the president in which he said nobody told him she had been fired. Manigault Newman also says she has heard audio tape of Trump using the N-word.

On Tuesday, Trump tweeted: "When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn't work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!"

That's a reference to Trump's White House chief of staff, retired Gen. John Kelly, who fired Manigault Newman in December 2017 in a conversation she viewed as a "threat."

President Donald Trump and Omarosa Manigault Newman have returned to their roles as reality TV boss and villain as they spar over what she claims the president said and what he contends his former White House aide is making up.

Manigault Newman says she heard an audiotape of Trump using the N-word. The president counters that the word isn't in his vocabulary and calls her "wacky and deranged" and "not smart."

Their war of words touches on sensitive issues in Trump's White House, including a lack of racial diversity among senior officials, security in the executive mansion, and a culture that some there feel borders on paranoia.

In an unusual admission, Trump says the public back and forth is perhaps beneath a person in his position.
