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.
Trumps campaign sought millions for those alleged violations of the NDAs non-disparagement clause. Manigault Newman and her legal team fought backseeking 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.

Another victory lap for Trump.

(18,486 posts)3. How is that a victory lap for Trump?
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.

He will take it as a victory. I will return with a link when he comments.
