Trump campaign paid women employees -- including Omarosa -- 20% less than males: Court filing

President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign paid most of the women who worked for it — including notorious "The Apprentice" contestant Omarosa Manigault Newman — 20 percent less than their male counterparts, a court filing claimed Monday.

The filing, part of a lawsuit against Trump, says that an analysis has found that other than a "small handful of employees in senior leadership roles," female workers on the campaign were paid on average $3,865 per month, and "males were paid $4,568 — a stunning gap of 18.2 percent."

The campaign "maintained a common policy ... of paying female employees less than their male counterparts for the same or similar work," says the filing by Alva Johnson, a former Trump campaign worker.

In Johnson's suit filed earlier this year in federal court in Tampa, Florida, she claimed that Trump kissed her without her consent at a campaign rally in August 2016.
