'Invalid and Unenforceable': Federal Judge Voids Non-Disclosure Agreement in Case of Former Trump

Campaign Staffer

A federal judge in New York on Tuesday ruled that the extremely broad non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses contained in the employment agreement signed by a former Trump campaign staffer was “invalid and unenforceable,” reasoning that the sweepingly broad and ill-defined provisions made it nearly impossible to enforce.

In a 36-page ruling that circumvented the broader First Amendment and other constitutional issues, George W. Bush-appointed U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe said the agreement failed to meet the standards required under New York state law.

The case stems from a lawsuit filed by Jessica Denson, who was the director of Hispanic outreach for the campaign and previously alleged she was subjected to sexual discrimination and harassment during her employ.

According to Gardephe, the scope and duration of the non-disclosure clause—which forbids staffers from discussing the 2016 campaign or saying anything negative about Trump, his private businesses, his family, as well as his family’s businesses in perpetuity—was essentially unlimited and “much broader” than what was necessary to protect the campaign’s legitimate interests.
