Phillip Rucker has a report in today’s Washington Post about the book by Annonymous:
“Book by ‘Anonymous’ describes Trump as cruel, inept and a danger to the nation” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/book-by-anonymous-describes-trump-as-cruel-inept-and-a-danger-to-the-nation/ar-BBWqVqG?ocid=spartanntp
In his reporting it includes this statement:
Earlier this week, the Justice Department warned Hachette and the author’s agents, Matt Latimer and Keith Urbahn of Javelin, that the anonymous official may be violating a nondisclosure agreement. Javelin responded by accusing the administration of seeking to unmask the author.
Is it the United States Justice Department’s job to be enforcing Trump NDA’s?
Shouldn’t the only limitations on speech, and testimony, placed on government employees be based on law, and not private NDA’s?
Should not a President’s demand for a personal secrecy agreement with a public employee be illegal?
What is going on here?
Based on this it seems that the first question that should be asked of every witness in Trump related matters is whether or not they have signed an NDA. If so, the second question should be whether they will disregard that NDA in their testimony.
