Former Trump campaign staffer Jessica Denson filed a class action lawsuit on Monday to request release from her non-disclosure agreement (NDA) signed during the 2016 election cycle.
Denson, who worked as a national phone bank administrator and Hispanic engagement coordinator, was required to sign a contract before starting her employment. The class action declares that the document is null and void, as the clauses are “wildly broad” rendering them unlawful in both state and federal law.
The agreement prohibits employees, contractors and volunteers from disclosing information about President Donald Trump, his family, business and political affairs. The plaintiffs filed the lawsuit stating that the broad ban over speech “forever” by the agreement violates the Fist Amendment.
The class members are stating that despite working in a role where they were not exposed to high-level strategic or private information, they are still bound by this broad ban on speech.
