The former help Cliff Sims sues Trump about confidentiality agreements

The book aroused a critical reaction from the president, who tweeted "A junior staff member whom I knew barely called Cliff Sims wrote another boring book based on invented stories and fiction, he claimed to be an insider when in fact he was only a goof, he signed a confidentiality agreement, he is a mess! "in a subterfuge effort to use a private entity, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., to silence Mr. Sims' silence when it is really the intense power of the presidency that goes to a single individual. "

The prosecution is asking a court to rule that" Trump "can not enforce, directly or through non-US government cuts, any confidentiality agreement seeking to unconstitutionally violate its First Amendment rights."

"The purpose of this action is to permanently prevent the defendants from silencing Mr. Sims with respect to any information he may have learned during his tenure as a federal employee, as well as any right or privilege possible legal protection, "reads the document.

In the lawsuit, Zaid claims that the US government "seeks to impute Mr. Sims' civil liability by applying applicable NOA to information that Mr. Sims has learned only while serving in the federal government".
