In the book, titled \u201cUnhinged: An Insider\u2019s Account of the Trump White House,\u201d she accused the former president of showing signs of mental decline and making racist and misogynistic comments, among other unflattering claims. Trump\u2019s campaign alleged that the book violated an NDA that she had signed in 2016.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"tpd-read-more-container\" style=\"border-top:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0; padding-top:15px;padding-bottom:15px; display:flex;margin-bottom:1.5em;margin-top:1.5em;\"><\/div>\n<p>However, the arbitrator in the case, T. Andrew Brown, agreed with Manigault Newman\u2019s claim that the NDA is \u201cinvalid under New York contract law\u201d and that the terms of the agreement were \u201cvague, indefinite, and therefore void and unenforceable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown added that the NDA \u201ceffectively imposes on [Omarosa] an obligation to never say anything remotely critical of Mr. Trump, his family or his family members\u2019 businesses for the rest of her life.
