Trump campaign ordered to pay $1.3m settlement to Omarosa in NDA case

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign must pay nearly $1.3m in legal fees to former “Apprentice” star and Trump administration official Omarosa Manigault Newman, The New York Times reported.

A court arbitrator ordered the sum on Tuesday after the former president’s campaign sued Ms Newman for her book, “Unhinged,” which the campaign said violated a non-disclosure agreement. Mr Trump had lost the case in September of last year, but both sides have disputed the size of the settlement.

The Trump campaign argued that Ms Manigault Newman, who was on the first season of The Apprentice and who worked in the administration, made bad faith arguments and should not receive legal fees. But the arbitrator said she had to pay a large sum of legal fees because of the suit.
