Former President Donald Trump lost a legal war opposed to former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, who was also a candidate in Trump’s truth exhibit “The Apprentice,” when a New York arbitrator ruled that Manigault Newman had not violated a confidentiality agreement by writing him a book.
The arbitrator said that because the settlement is vague, it is invalid, meaning Manigault Newman’s 2018 e-book “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House” did not violate any laws.
“Donald has used this vexatious litigation to intimidate, harass and intimidate for years,” Manigault Newman said in a statement. “Finally, the tyrant has met his equal!”
The New York Times first reported Tuesday.
In the revealer, Manigault Newman criticizes Trump’s intellectual state and calls the former president a racist, and claims to have secretly recorded conversations with Trump and then-boss John Kelly, among others.
Manigault Newman went to paint for Trump in 2016 his presidential crusade and then joined him in the White House. She was fired in December 2017 through Kelly in the Situation Room, a verbal exchange she recorded.

Arbitration is different from a court case, but Trump and Manigault Newman had agreed in the past to settle for the decision. In addition, Trump’s crusade will have to pay Manigault Newman’s legal fees.
“It’s over. We won in the forum selected through Donald Trump and the Trump Campaign,” John Phillips, Manigault Newman’s attorney, said in a written statement. “The people who signed those confidentiality agreements sleep better and speak more freely. “
Trump’s reaction personally attacked Manigault Newman but he did not stand up to the decision.
Manigault Newman’s victory comes shortly after another former crusade aide, Jessica Denson, asked a federal government to pass the ruling to overturn a similar non-disclosure agreement she had signed in the past, a resolution in which she agreed to pass the sentence. .
