Trump loses case against Omarosa, who wrote tell-all White House book
NBC News ^ | September. 28, 2021 | Dartunorro Clark

A New York arbitrator said former President Donald Trump's non-disclosure agreement against his ex-White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman is "unenforceable" in a ruling handed down on Monday.

Arbitrator T. Andrew Brown said in the ruling that the terms of Trump’s non-disclosure agreement were "highly problematic" because it did not adhere to typical legal standards, describing it as “vague, indefinite, and therefore void and unenforceable."

“The Agreement effectively imposes on [Manigault Newman] an obligation to never say anything remotely critical of Mr. Trump, his family or his or his family members’ businesses for the rest of her life," Brown said in the ruling.

Manigault Newman and her lawyer both released statements celebrating the decision Tuesday.

“Clearly, I am very happy with this ruling," Manigault Newman said. "Donald has used this type of vexatious litigation to intimidate, harass and bully for years! Finally the bully has met his match!”

John Phillips, her lawyer, said in a statement that he hopes it encourages more people to "come forward and blow the whistle on corrupt government."

"It’s over. We’ve won in Donald Trump and the Trump Campaign’s chosen forum," he said.

Trump’s campaign filed an arbitration complaint with the American Arbitration Association in New York City against Manigault Newman in 2018, alleging that the former top White House aide was in breach of a 2016 confidentiality agreement.

The action was related to claims made by Manigault Newman in her 2018 book, "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House," in which she called the president a racist and suggested he was in severe mental decline.

All of a sudden today these slimeballs crawl out of the woodwork via the MSM. I just saw another story about another woman writing a tell-all book about POTUS’s “temper”. Give it up already.

So the next step would be massive slander lawsuit based on the books contents.

She should have been charged for illegally recording her White House conversation with Kelly.

Why Trump allowed that bitch with a long history of backstabbing people into his inner circle will never make sense.

He treated her rather graciously in light of her caustic
actions on the Apprentice.

She came on board the White House team, and this is what
she did with it.

I don’t have a smidgen of respect for this person.

I am not a lawyer, but as I understand it, President Trump as a public figure, cannot successfully sue anyone for slander.

I would expect that Trump’s NDA was done by his lawyers, he needs to get his money back from them.

Have to wonder how many other NDA’s now become unenforceable?

It will backfire like all the other attacks on him. It never sticks. It will probably help him. She will end up like Megyn Kelly.

As I said back in November 2016 after it became clear that Trump had won the election ...

The best thing about a Trump presidency is that he's going to treat Washington D.C. like a clown show.

There sure is a lot of “news” this week about President Trump. You’d almost think that they were trying to distract us from something 🤔
