Trump made W. House staff ink hush deals

PRESIDENT TRUMP was transparent in his mania for secrecy, requiring senior White House staffers to sign nondisclosure agreements during the early months of his term, a report said Sunday.

Infuriated by White House leaks, Trump asked his staff to sign a document promising they wouldn’t reveal confidential information, according to Ruth Marcus, The Washington Post’s deputy editorial page editor.

Some didn’t want to comply but ultimately signed the paper after Reince Priebus, Trump’s then-chief of staff, and the White House counsel pressured them.

“I remember the President saying, ‘Has everybody signed a confidentiality agreement like they did during the campaign or we had at Trump Tower?’ ” a source who signed told The Post.

Incredibly, the document was supposed to last past Trump’s presidency, the source said.

The agreement banned the sharing of all confidential info, including “the publication of works of fiction that contain any mention of the operations of the White House, federal agencies, foreign governments, or other entities interacting with the United States Government that is based on confidential information.”

A draft said those who violate the agreement would have to pay the federal government a $10 million penalty every time they reveal confidential information, according to the newspaper.
