On October 11, 2023, a judge issued a sweeping victory for former Trump campaign staffer Jessica Denson, signing off on a class-action settlement that will permanently free all 2016 Trump Campaign workers from the Campaign’s illegal NDA. Denson first sued to invalidate the NDA in 2018 as a pro se litigant, won an initial decision in March 2021 invalidating the NDA for herself, and today, some five years later, a federal judge ruled that her victory extends to all who signed the overly broad and illegal NDA.

The decision goes well beyond the Campaign’s concessions in the case, ensuring the permanent class-wide invalidation of the NDA enjoys the force of law.

    Imagine having to sign an NDA just for doing campaign work for a presidential candidate. Now imagine continuing to work for said candidate while simultaneously believing he’s not a criminal.

      Sounds like she wanted out pretty quickly. Did she work for him after she wanted out of the NDA?
