You just knew this was going to happen…
The Trump campaign confirms that it has filed for arbitration against Omarosa over her new book and public appearances dishing on the president and his family:

More from Paul Bedard:
And the legal mess begins! My old boss @SecretsBedard gets the scoop that Trump campaign lawyers are going after @OMAROSA for violating her 2016 campaign NDA https://t.co/szrghEVPG1

According to Bedard, the arbitration is over the NDA she signed as part of the campaign:
While Manigault Newman has claimed that she did not sign a nondisclosure as part of her White House work or in exchange for a 2020 campaign job that did not materialize, her signing of the agreement during her 2016 campaign work remains in force because it is with the same campaign organization and never went out of force, said the campaign.
