Don staffer wants out of a hush deal
A FORMER Trump campaign staffer is suing the President to void a nondisclosure agreement that’s stopped her from talking about the discrimination she faced while working for his campaign.
Jessica Denson claims in Manhattan court filings that she was harassed and discriminated against by a superior after she was promoted to head the campaign’s Hispanic outreach.
The Trump campaign originally hired Denson, a journalist, as a phone bank administrator in August 2016.
The nondisclosure agreement Denson signed required her not to talk about the President, his family, personal life or his companies, the suit says.
But the agreement has been “weaponized” against her to keep her quiet about being harassed by a male superior, her Manhattan Federal Court filing says.
Denson claims in court papers that her superiors created a “climate of fear and torment for her and her family whilst treating her as a threat and danger to Donald Trump for the duration of the campaign.”
A source close to the case claimed Denson, 33, filed a police report in early December 2016 in Midtown. Denson claimed that her male supervisor in Trump Tower harassed her and tried to hack into her Twitter account, the source told the Daily News.
The campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
