Trump accuser Jessica Drake has an NDA preventing her from talking about serial predator Trump




https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-accuser-jessica-drake-has-an-nda-preventing-her-from-talking-about-donald-trump?ref=home

The Daily Beast was informed late Friday that porn star Jessica Drake is not allowed to discuss President Donald J. Trump on account of a non-disclosure agreement she signed barring her from any such talk. NDAs are often deployed as part of settlements to silence accusers.

“Jessica’s NDA blankets any and every mention of Trump, so she’s legally unable to comment,” her publicist, Josh Ortiz, informed The Daily Beast. “Jessica signed a non-disclosure agreement after her allegations of misconduct, and she can’t do as much as peep his name publicly.”

11. As best I can suss it out...his tendency to sue

or at least to threaten to sue is what usually keeps people in line after signing one of these things. If the NDA is not reasonable and realistic, if it attempts to cover an illegal act or if there is a public interest to be served by NOT keeping the agreement, the judgment will usually go for the person disclosing the info.

Again, he has deep pockets and that scares most people.

15. There is money to be made dishing dirt on Trump, and if he sues it would be messy for him?

Very messy for him.

Trump has a lot of enemies, and inside stories about him sell big.
I think some people might start violating their NDAs.
