Trump suing Omarosa for breaking NDA

The Trump administration is suing Omarosa Manigault Newman for preaching a nondisclosure agreement.

As she’s been promoting her new book, Newman has called the president racist and revealed other details of her encounters with the president, according to The New York Post. 

In the report, it mentions Trump and his campaign want to fine her millions of dollars.

When speaking to the press, the president has referred to Newman as a ‘dog’ and a ‘lowlife.’

“Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. has filed an arbitration against Omarosa Manigault-Newman, with the American Arbitration Association in New York City, for breach of her 2016 confidentiality agreement with the Trump Campaign,” a campaign official told the New York Post.

“President Trump is well known for giving people opportunities to advance in their careers and lives over the decades, but wrong is wrong, and a direct violation of an agreement must be addressed and the violator must be held accountable.”

Newman, a former star of Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice,” enraged the president after publishing “Unhinged,” her book about her time in the White House.

At one point she worked as a liaison to the African-American community, paying just under $180,000 a year — the highest salary possible for such positions.

However, she was fired by chief of staff John Kelly in December, and her scathing tell-all portrays the commander-in-chief as a clueless naïf who was unfit for office, among other things.

As per usual, Trump launched a Twitter attack against Newman.

The report also states, the Trump campaign is also furious that Newman recorded private conversations with Trump and other White House officials, including with Kelly when he fired her in the Situation Room, where recordings are not allowed.

According to Newman, she did not sign an NDA regarding her job at the White House.

Yet, the campaign contends that the agreement she signed while working on Trump’s 2016 campaign remained in effect.
The agreement required her to keep information about Trump, his family and companies private.

In arbitration, which both sides agreed to in the nondisclosure agreement, each agreed to allow an arbitrator, often a retired judge, to hold a hearing.

The arbitrator, after hearing evidence, can dismiss the charge or slap her with a fine. However, it was unclear if the agreement was binding, experts said.
“Donald Trump cannot muzzle federal employees,” Brian Hauss, an attorney with the ACLU, told USA Today.
