Omarosa Manigault on Trump’s Executive Order on HBCUs


An NBC News Exclusive

This week President Donald Trump did something few could have predicted: He signed an executive order on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) on his fortieth day as President.

In an exclusive interview with NBCBLK, Omarosa Manigault was asked about the details, the policy and the politics of Trump's executive order on HBCUS. She serves as the Assistant to the President and Director of Communications in the Office of Public Liaison at the White House.

Manigault is likely a big reason why President Trump focused on HBCUs within his first one hundred days in office. She attended three HBCUs: Howard University, Central State University and Payne Theological Seminary. Additionally, Ja'Ron Smith, a key advisor to the President on Urban Affairs, is a HBCU graduate.
