Former Trump's Presidential Campaign, has been ordered to pay nearly $1.3 million in Legal Fees, to former White House Aide, Omarosa Manigault Newman, Director of Communications for the White House Public Liaison Office, by a New York Court Arbitrator.
The Award, handed down on Tuesday, comes after Trump filed a Complaint against Manigault Newman over her 2018 book, "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House," in which she called Trump a Racist and suggested that he was in "real and serious" Mental Decline.
Trump's Arbitration Complaint against Manigault Newman, with the American Arbitration Association in New York City in 2018, alleged that she was in Breach of a 2016 Confidentiality Agreement. In September 2021, Arbitrator T. Andrew Brown ruled, that Trump's Nondisclosure Agreement with Manigault Newman was "unenforceable."
Brown said in the Ruling that the Terms of the Nondisclosure Agreement were "highly problematic" because it did Not adhere to typical Legal Standards, describing it as "vague, indefinite, and therefore void and unenforceable."
In Tuesday's Decision, Brown said that Manigault Newman was "defending herself in a claim which was extensively litigated for more than three years, against an opponent who undoubtedly commanded far greater resources than did Respondent."
Following the Order, Manigault Newman's Attorney tweeted, "$1.3 Million Attorney Fee and Cost Order Against the Trump Campaign Issued. Highest known prevailing party attorney fee assessment against a President or Presidential Campaign."
During the 2016 Presidential Campaign, Newman served as a Liaison to the Black Community. In her subsequent White House Role, she was the highest-ranking African American Woman in the White House.
She Resigned from the Position in December 2017, after Reports of Tension between her and then-Chief of Staff John Kelly.
The Trump Campaign said that Trump intends to Appeal the Ruling.
