Former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign has reached a settlement in a long-running fight over its nondisclosure agreements that would free potentially hundreds of ex-staffers, contractors and volunteers to say what they want to about their experience.
The settlement comes after years of litigation between the 2016 campaign and former staffer Jessica Denson, who won a ruling in 2021 that the nondisclosure and non-disparagement agreements she signed were unenforceable. Denson and her lawyers were trying to certify the case as a class action for at least 422 people the campaign had identified as signing identical contracts.
