We’ve all been thinking it.
Doesn’t Omarosa have an NDA after working in the White House?
How is she getting away with all of this?!
Well… she’s not. In fact, she’s getting a pretty hard-core reality check right about now.
According to the Washington Examiner:
President Trump’s campaign organization Tuesday has filed for arbitration against friend-turned-enemy Omarosa Manigault Newman, claiming that she broke a 2016 nondisclosure contract by disparaging the president in her new book and revealing private talks from the ultra-secret White House Situation Room.
Yeeeeah. That’s a pretty major problem.
…but it’s all catching up to her.
In New York, Trump campaign lawyers filed for arbitration to force the former star of “The Apprentice” to abide by the agreement they say she signed when joining the 2016 campaign.
According to a sample of the agreement provided to Secrets, she was required to keep proprietary information about the president, his companies or his family confidential and to never “disparage” the Trump family “during the term of your service and at all times thereafter.”
Which is totally fair. What she’s doing now is classless at BEST…and a violation of FEDERAL LAW at worst.
Trump’s campaign has confirmed the charges.
In a statement, a campaign official said, “Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. has filed an arbitration against Omarosa Manigault-Newman, with the American Arbitration Association in New York City, for breach of her 2016 confidentiality agreement with the Trump Campaign.”
The official added, “President Trump is well known for giving people opportunities to advance in their careers and lives over the decades, but wrong is wrong, and a direct violation of an agreement must be addressed and the violator must be held accountable,” added the official.
As I’ve said before, I’ve always been bothered by the fact he hired her to work in the White House. I HAAAAATED this chick on her season of ‘The Apprentice.’ I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, but no… this woman was a HUGE mistake. Sure… I get that reality TV isn’t real life, but I don’t trust anyone who willingly portrays themselves as an opportunistic backstabber on national TV.
Because as we’ve seen in this case… chances are they are ACTUALLY opportunistic backstabbers!
In her book, Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House, and especially on her controversial book tour on TV, she has turned on her former friend and employer, calling him unfit for office. She claimed he used racist language during the filming of “The Apprentice,” but insiders and Trump deny the claim. She has also revealed private conversations she had with Trump and others, including from the secret White House Situation Room, a potential violation of federal law.
Aaaaaand virtually all of her claims have been knocked down, even by people who aren’t exactly “Pro-Trump.”
LTo the many dozens of #journalists who called me, questioning @OMAROSA claim in her new book that @POTUS @realDonaldTrump took a note from me, put it in his mouth and ate it…I saw NO such thing and am shocked anyone would take this seriously.

No. There was one tweet, it didn’t criticize the travel ban, and it was clear at the time from my and others’ personal interactions with him that he didn’t hold it against me—not one bit. From what I saw and heard, any suggestion he would have used such slurs is preposterous.

I’m in @Omarosa’s book on page 149. She claims to have heard from someone who heard from me that I heard Trump use the N-word.
Not only is this flat-out false (I’ve never heard such a thing), but Omarosa didn’t even make an effort to call or email me to verify. Very shoddy work.

I mean DAMN, Omarosa… it looks pretty bad when you can’t even get the Trump-hating liberals on your team.
Omarosa claims she didn’t sign a nondisclosure agreement as part of her White House work or in exchange for a 2020 campaign job…but that may not matter.
Her signing of the agreement during her 2016 campaign work remains in force because it is with the same campaign organization and never went out of force, said the campaign.
“The campaign is holding her accountable for the 2016 nondisclosure,” said a Trump ally.
An official said on background that Manigault Newman has made “egregious” violations of the agreement and as a result they are seeking millions of dollars in retaliation. As the case unfolds, they might also seek any “ill-gotten profits” she has received from the book, including her fee for writing it.
Soooo she might want to keep doing those awkward interviews… because she’s gonna need every PENNY of that money.
