WASHINGTON -- The White House says Omarosa Manigault Newman -- one of President Donald Trump's most prominent African-American supporters -- plans to leave the administration next month.

Her decision comes at the start of what's expected to be a round of departures heading into the new year.

She's a former contestant on Trump's reality TV show "The Apprentice." She joined the administration as director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison, working on outreach to constituency groups.
