If there’s anything that Donald Trump is better at than running businesses into the ground and filing bankruptcies, it’s losing in court. The twice-impeached ex-president who lost the popular vote twice lost a lawsuit to former The Apprentice contestant -turned-White House advisor Omarosa Manigault Newman, and it’s going to cost him dearly.
$1.3 Million Attorney Fee and Cost Order Against the Trump Campaign Issued! (Highest known prevailing party attorney fee assessment against a President or Presidential Campaign).

Trump filed a lawsuit against Manigault-Newman for violating a non-disclosure agreement signed by everyone who worked in the Trump administration although an NDA requirement was already an unprecedented move by a president. Manigault-Newman was fired from that position by the then-incoming chief of staff, John Kelly, in 2018 upon which she immediately did press interviews, wrote a tell-all book, and was sued for her efforts.
According to The Guardian:
”The book containedexplosive claims including that the then president was a “racist” who used the N-word repeatedly…Manigault Newman also released audio recordings of Trump officials.’
Manigault-Newman countersued and, after losing his case against her, was ordered on Wednesday to pay out $1.3 million dollars. Considering Trump’s lost history of failing to pay money owed to those who work for him or who he’s wronged, the former reality show TV contestant may be waiting quite some time to receive any of the funds, if she receives any at all.
Twitter had a lot of thoughts about the court case and its outcome. Read some of their comments below:
