NEW YORK (AP) - President Donald Trump's liaison to the black community says African-American activists aren't trying hard enough to work with the new administration.
White House aide and former "Apprentice" star Omarosa Manigault delivered the pointed message in an interview with The Associated Press in advance of an appearance Thursday at the annual convention of an activist organization founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Manigault said the Trump White House is willing to work with African-Americans, but that it's not "a one-way street."
African-American gathered at the convention lashed out at the Trump administration for wanting to cut training, education and health care programs that benefit minorities.
Sharpton called Trump's first 100 days a "disaster" for blacks.
