‘Peak 2017’! #FakeNews SO rampant even US Secret Service is fact-checking media
As Twitchy reported Wednesday morning, depending on which reports are to be believed, Omarosa Manigault either resigned or was let go from her position at the White House.
White House reporter April Ryan was among journos implying White House Chief of Staff John Kelly got the Secret Service involved in escorting Manigault from the building. “He told the Secret Service to get her out of here” said Ryan, quoting “sources.”

In a different CNN interview, Ryan said said the Secret Service escorted her “off the property.”
.@AprilDRyan reports Omarosa is leaving the White House because General Kelly "was tired of all the drama." She "was very vulgar, she was cursing" when he let her know and tried to go see Trump in his residence, but was escorted out by Secret Service https://t.co/tXu1J9HEOw

The US Secret Service is just the latest entity to sound the “fake news” alarm, at least about the part of the story alleging they had a role in physically removing Omarosa from the grounds:
Reporting regarding Secret Service personnel physically removing Omarosa Manigault Newman from the @WhiteHouse complex is incorrect.

The Secret Service was not involved in the termination process of Ms Manigault Newman or the escort off of the complex. Our only involvement in this matter was to deactivate the individual's pass which grants access to the complex.
