POTUS says former White House staffer @Omarosa lied when she called him a racist who has said the N-word on tape. But a new recording, obtained by @CBSNews overnight, seems to back up Omarosa's story that several Trump advisers discussed an alleged tape during the 2016 campaign.

Why were you taping? -- @GayleKing

"Because the truth matters, Gayle. And if I didn't have this tape, you all would probably be wondering if, in fact, they did talk about it." -- @Omarosa cbsn.ws/2vHwyp1

"In Trump world, everyone lies. Everyone says one thing one day and they change their story the next day." -- @Omarosa cbsn.ws/2vHwyp1

Why do you want to work in a world where everybody lies?

"I've been in politics for 20 years. Everybody lies in politics... you have to look out for yourself." -- @Omarosa cbsn.ws/2vHwyp1

"The sad thing is, as we saw with "Access Hollywood," it probably won't impact his base. I think that their support is baked in, but it does expose him for the racist that he is." -- @Omarosa cbsn.ws/2vHwyp1

You have everything that you say in the book backed up by tape or email?

"Absolutely. If you see it in quotes, it can be verified, corroborated and is well documented." -- @Omarosa cbsn.ws/2vHwyp1
