Donald Trump’s presidential campaign must pay nearly $1.3m in legal fees to former “Apprentice” star and Trump administration official Omarosa Manigault Newman, The New York Times reported.
A court arbitrator ordered the sum on Tuesday after the former president’s campaign sued Ms Newman for her book, “Unhinged,” which the campaign said violated a non-disclosure agreement. Mr Trump had lost the case in September of last year, but both sides have disputed the size of the settlement.
The Trump campaign argued that Ms Manigault Newman, who was on the first season of The Apprentice and who worked in the administration, made bad faith arguments and should not receive legal fees. But the arbitrator said she had to pay a large sum of legal fees because of the suit.

..."In deciding to permit supplemental briefing, the Arbitrator took into consideration that Respondent did not bring this case. Respondent was defending herself in a claim which was extensively litigated for more than three years, against an opponent who undoubtedly commanded far greater resources than did Respondent,” Brown said.
“This award is in full settlement of all remaining claims not already disposed of in this Arbitration,” he added.
Lead attorney for Manigault Newman, John M. Phillips, said it is “the largest known attorney fee award against a Political Campaign or President we can find.”
He added he hoped it would “send a message that weaponized litigation will not be tolerated and empower other lawyers to stand up and fight for the whistleblower and vocal critic against the oppressive machine.”
Phillips noted part of the money Manigault Newman receives from Trump’s campaign will be donated to groups that work against the suppression of speech."...

He will give over the money he fleeced from his cult. I bet they are willing to be fleeced out of more money for their dear leader.
