Donald Trump is suing a former campaign aide for $10 million, accusing him of leaking information in spite of a confidentiality agreement. Nunberg denied that he wrote the posts.

Nunberg, who is Jewish, was sacked twice by the Trump campaign – once for his Facebook posts and previously for urging Trump’s involvement in an unflattering BuzzFeed profile in 2014.
Donald Trump fired Sam Nunberg from working on his campaign, and now the GOP presidential candidate is hitting the man with a $10 million lawsuit.
New York Daily News reports that Manhattan County Clerk Milton Tingling blocked access to them “by imposing his own “protocols” which allow his staff to seal documents temporarily when a case is initially filed until a judge rules on a formal sealing request”.
The dispute has apparently been going on behind the scenes since May, but was made public when Nunberg filed his lawsuit in NY.
CNN’s Don Lemon revealed that latter tidbit when he introduced Lewandowski on his show Monday: “Former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski…is still receiving severance from the Trump campaign”.
The flare-up comes after a period in which campaign in-fighting led Trump to fire some top aides, including national political director Rick Wiley and campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.
The AP reported last month that almost every Trump employee both in the campaign and his businesses must sign legally binding nondisclosure agreements prohibiting them from releasing any confidential or disparaging information about the real estate mogul, his family or his companies.
Garten called the allegations against Lewandowski and Hicks “categorically false”.
“During this period, the Trump campaign may very well have violated Federal Election Law by co-mingling corporate resources and failing to file the costs and expenditures the Trump campaign has already incurred this past May and June”, Nunberg’s brief reads.
Instead, Nunberg says the contract that should apply is the consulting agreement he signed with the Trump exploratory committee.
Nunberg, through his association with longtime Trump political adviser Roger Stone, advised Trump amid his flirtation with a presidential run in 2012.
Nunberg’s official legal statement denies giving the New York Post information but doesn’t deny the relationship between those staffers.
