Yes - we all wish he would go away
Freedom of speech isn't in Trump's vocabulary except for himself.

Former aide Jessica Denson filed an initial suit in 2018 when the campaign tried to silence her after she complained she had been sexually harassed and discriminated against by another worker. Denson said she was subjected to a “reign of terror” at her job.
Denson was seeking class-action status for the suit when the settlement was reached last week.

.....

“No attorney should have ever drafted it, and no campaign worker should have ever been compelled to sign it,” he added, calling the “unwinding of the NDA a triumph for free speech, for democracy and for Jessica Denson.”
Denson was also represented by the nonprofit public interest group Protect Democracy.

5 years of lawsuits to void a 7 year old agreement that should have never existed in the first place. Trump once again uses and abuses the courts as a shield to hide his unethical behavior and could of won the presidency because of it and the penalty is 400,000. Probably not enough to cover the plaintiffs legal fees over 5 years.
Trumps lawyers get off scott free.  Ready to abuse the public somemore as long as someone writes them a big enough check.
99.9% of the public has the resources to fight an illegal non disclosure agreement like this. >

I think covering fees is part of the settlement fortunately.

Denson, who had not been seeking damages, will receive $25,000 as an “incentive” fee for pressing the case. The rest of the settlement amount will cover legal fees and other costs, according to the court filing.

Trump and his legal teams require financial penalties for wasting courts time in a multitude of lawsuits, former and pending. >

Should make a new law stating that repeat offenders filing frivolous lawsuits and wasting time is that you don’t only have to pay penalties, but you also go to jail for 1 hour per 10 dollars owed.
Those hours quickly add up to weeks, months, and years when the penalties are in the tens and hundreds of thousands. 100k = 416 days in jail. >

I like the way you think. >

Monetary penalties are just the cost of doing business for the rich, and it only punishes the poor for the audacity of being poor.
I’m a big supporter of making that shit hurt like hell for anyone trying to weaponize the courts like Trump has done for decades. It’s high time the term “no one is above the law” was made to be true. >

I like the countries that base fines on wealth and/or income. A cleaner speeds on the way to work? Small fine (that still hurts). A CEO speeds? Giant fine, that hurts exactly as much. >


The Trump campaign argued that by filing her workplace harassment suit, Denson disparaged the campaign and thus violated her agreement.
But the deal was in jeopardy late last month when attorneys for Trump’s campaign insisted the monetary amount be kept secret. U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe ruled that the amount had to be disclosed if the agreement was to proceed, Bloomberg reported.

There is no reason, what so ever, for an NDA in government, at any level. And now taxpayers get to pay for the previous administration’s decisions to cover up their illegal activities. >

Are you thinking of noncompetes? >

Make NDAs illegal.  It seems like their main use is to protect guilty people.  It is also against the spirit of free speech and democracy to silence people. >

NDAs have their place but it is so often abused and there needs to be a lot of legislation changes around them. >

So tired of winning . >

Anyone running for president should have redacted versions of all their NDAs made public at the VERY LEAST (of this type) >

So much winning. Always winning. Just win after win after win. >

Brings a new meaning to NDA.  Might I suggest "Never Donald Again"? >

How the fuck do you get volunteers to sign a non disparagement/non compete and expect that to hold up in court? There's no consideration involved. Did they just not listen to their lawyers? >

Honestly, take a look at their lawyers.   They were probably the ones who advised this. >

Another win for trump. He must be tired of winning >

This guy's last last campaign is still in litigation. How is this real life. >

Is this from the build the wall fund or the stop the steal fund? >

Everything Trump touches turn to lawsuit. >

Oh another trump article on the homepage…
