The campaign for the re-election of President Donald Trump has filed for arbitration proceedings against former campaign aide and White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman, alleging that she broke a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) by denigrating the president in her recent book.

Manigault Newman, who was fired from a community-outreach job in the Trump administration in December, says she secretly recorded other Trump administration officials, and she even released a tape of chief of staff John Kelly firing her. That conversation, she said, took place in the ultra-secure White House Situation Room, where personal devices are forbidden.
