'It's Over': Omarosa's Attorney Celebrates as Trump NDA Ruled Unenforceable

https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/its-over-omarosas-attorney-celebrates-as-trump-nda-ruled-unenforceable-paving-the-way-for-more-secrets-to-be-spilled/


The decision by the American Arbitration Association is dated Sept. 24 but was released to the interested parties on Monday.

The ruling puts the kibosh on Trump campaign efforts to enforce a nondisclosure agreement against Manigault Newman after she penned Unhinged, a tell-all memoir about her scandal-ridden, tumultuous and brief stint in government. The campaign also objected to her releasing an audio file of then-White House chief of staff John Kelly and for making certain allegedly disparaging remarks about Trump himself during another T.V. show.

Trump’s campaign sought millions for those alleged violations of the NDA’s non-disparagement clause. Manigault Newman and her legal team fought back–seeking to have the arbitration lawsuit dismissed on summary judgment based on various legal grounds.

After several bouts, and, again, years worth, of excruciating legal wrangling during which Manigault Newman called foul, the confines of the conflict were limited to the comments made in the book.

He already has a right to sue. But now he has fewer grounds than before. That's not a victory.

And this will likely be applied to other NDAs he forced staff to sign.

I just don't get the propensity to try to turn every victory into a defeat.
