The action opens another front in the battle between President Trump, his campaign and his aggrieved former staff members. The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment. Denson’s case, which has been in state court, federal court and arbitration, began when she filed a workplace discrimination and harassment lawsuit against the Trump campaign in 2017. In the meantime, this class action seeks to invalidate the basis for the Trump campaign’s complaint: the NDA itself. But, as Manigault Newman publicized her book “Deranged,” a tell-all from inside the Trump administration, Trump filed an arbitration action against her, alleging she had violated an earlier NDA.
