President Trump’s campaign on Tuesday filed charges against former aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman, claiming she violated a 2016 nondisclosure agreement\u00a0(NDA) by disparaging the president in her new book, and\u00a0secretly recording\u00a0conversations\u00a0with Trump<\/a>\u00a0and White House\u00a0chief of staff John Kelly<\/a>, the latter of which took place in the ultra-secure Situation Room –\u00a0a\u00a0SCIF<\/a>\u00a0(Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) when Kelly fired her last December, reports the\u00a0Washington Examiner<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n In New York, Trump campaign lawyers filed for arbitration to force the former star of \u201cThe Apprentice\u201d to abide by the agreement they say she signed when joining the 2016 campaign.<\/p>\n According to a sample of the agreement provided to Secrets,\u00a0she was required to keep proprietary information about the president, his companies or his family confidential and to never \u201cdisparage\u201d the Trump family \u201cduring the term of your service and at all times thereafter.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0–Washington Examiner<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n A Trump campaign official said in a statement “Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. has filed an arbitration against Omarosa Manigault-Newman, with the American Arbitration Association in New York City, for\u00a0breach of her 2016 confidentiality agreement<\/strong>\u00a0with the Trump Campaign,” adding “President Trump is well known for giving people opportunities to advance in their careers and lives over the decades, but wrong is wrong<\/strong>, and a direct violation of an agreement must be addressed and the violator must be held accountable.”<\/p>\n 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,\u00a0calling him unfit for office<\/strong>.\u00a0She claimed he used racist language during the filming of \u201cThe Apprentice,\u201d but insiders and Trump deny the claim<\/strong>. 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.\u00a0–Washington Examiner<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Trump referenced the NDA in a Monday Tweet:<\/p>\n http:\/\/twitter.com\/EdwardTHardy\/status\/1029027406122823680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1029027406122823680&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fnews%2F2018-08-14%2Ftrump-campaign-sues-omarosa-millions-sought-over-broken-nda<\/p>\n On Tuesday, Omarosa provided\u00a0CBS News<\/a><\/em>\u00a0with a new tape in which several Trump campaign officials\u00a0reportedly discuss how to handle the fallout over an alleged tape of Trump using the N-word during his time on\u00a0The Apprentice<\/em>.<\/p>\n “I am trying to find at least what context it was used in to help us maybe try to figure out a way to spin it,” Pierson is heard saying.<\/p>\n Patton then described a conversation she had with then-candidate Trump about making the slur.<\/p>\n Patton: “I said, ‘Well, sir, can you think of anytime where this happened?’ And he said, ‘no.'”<\/p>\n Omarosa: “Well, that is not true.”<\/p>\n Patton: “He goes, how do you think I should handle it and I told him exactly what you just said, Omarosa, which is well, it depends on what scenario you are talking about. And he said, well, why don’t you just go ahead and put it to bed.”<\/p>\n Pierson: “He said. No, he said it. He is embarrassed by it.” –CBS News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Pierson denied the call ever took place on Monday night – before CBS obtained the recording, saying “No, Ed (Henry). That did not happen. Sounds like she is writing the script for a movie.” Then on Tuesday, Patton and Pierson issued a joint statement, saying “No one ever denied the existence of conversations about a reported ‘Apprentice’ tape. Of course there were multiple discussions about it.”<\/p>\n No one ever denied we had multiple conversations re: the Apprentice tape. To the contrary my interview w\/@HuffPost<\/a> proves @OMAROSA<\/a> was obsessed & discussed it constantly. What we refuted is having a call that Luntz CONFIRMED Trump said it.
