Former President Trump may face a new torrent of unfavorable revelations from former staffers after erstwhile “Apprentice” star and ex-White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman won a key victory in recent days.
Trump has spent years trying to hit back at Manigault Newman, who wrote a critical book about her time as director of communications in the White House’s Office of Public Liaison.
Manigault Newman had signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with the 2016 Trump campaign, which the Trump legal team argued was violated by her authorship of the book. But the agreement was voided by a New York arbitrator on Friday. The decision was first reported by The New York Times on Tuesday.
Manigault Newman’s victory could embolden others who signed NDAs with Trump. The former White House staffer says that’s already happening.

The attorneys who worked on her case agreed.
