Former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign agreed to pay $450,000 to settle a years-long legal fight over non-disclosure agreements that it required workers and volunteers sign, new court documents show.
The campaign’s settlement with former staff member Jessica Denson briefly appeared to be in potential jeopardy after a federal judge in New York earlier this week rejected efforts to keep the dollar amount secret. The campaign had described the confidentiality as a “core component” of its willingness to reach a deal.
