President Donald Trump sues Omarosa and others for breach of confidentiality – Deadline

President Trump announced during his regular weekend tweetstorm that he was pursuing an old aid and L & # 39; s apprentice archivist Omarosa Manigault Newman and others not specified for violation of confidentiality agreements.

"Yes, I'm currently suing various people for breaching their confidentiality agreements," tweeted Trump. "Omarosa is disgusting and rude. I gave her every break, despite the fact that she was despised by everyone and she went looking for cheap money in a book. Many others too!

While the president is pursuing some cases, his latest violation, Madeleine Westerhout, will not be among them. The former personal assistant met with reporters during an "informal session", but his reckless remarks about the president and his relationship with his family ended up in the media.

Politico reported that Westerhout told reporters that Trump was not appearing with his daughter Tiffany because of her excess weight, adding that Trump "could not choose Tiffany in a crowd".

Although Westerhout "has a fully enforceable confidentiality agreement, she is a very good person and I do not think there would ever be any reason to use it," Trump said on Twitter. "She called me yesterday to apologize, had a bad night. I understood and I forgave him! I love Tiffany, I'm fine!

Omarosa is another story. His book, Unhinged: the story of an insider of the White House Trump, was a very critical account of his time with Trump on television and at the White House. Trump's campaign, Donald J. Trump For President Inc., has requested the arbitration of Manigault Newman for alleged breach of a confidentiality agreement of 2016. The fate of this case has not been revealed and it is not not clear if this is the lawsuit brought by Trump in his tweet today.

Manigault has kept a relatively low profile since the release of his book. The documentary story worked well during his first week, then sank, despite a huge media blitz from his former talkative assistant.
