Omarosa's publisher knocks 'hollow legal threats' from Trump campaign

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Omarosa Manigault Newman's publisher maintained Thursday that it would still produce the former White House aide's tell-all book despite "legal threats" from President Trump's campaign.

The campaign, in a move led by high-profile attorney Charles Harder, filed an arbitration action on Tuesday against Manigault Newman, alleging that the former Trump aide breached a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) she signed while working on the campaign in 2016.

"Put simply, the book's purpose is to inform the public," Simon & Schuster's outside counsel Elizabeth McNamara wrote in a response to Harder reported by CNN. "Private contracts like the NDA may not be used to censor former or current government officials from speaking about non-classified information learned during the course of their public employment."

She noted that Trump's legal team threatened that the publication of "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House" would face "substantial monetary damages and punitive damages" linked to claims stemming from the book or the confidentiality agreement.

1. I think she is a planned distraction.

2. Simon & Schuster have been around for a long time...

They knew what they were getting into and I'm sure they have all their legal ducks in a row. Heck they probably insisted on seeing proof from her before they'd publish the book.
