Trump campaign

Omarosa Manigault Newman -- a former staffer on Donald Trump's 2016 campaign who then worked for Trump's White House -- was awarded more than $1.3 million in attorney's fees and costs this week after previously prevailing in a dispute over whether she had violated a Trump campaign non-disclosure agreement.

The award was handed down Tuesday and determined by Andrew Brown, of the American Arbitration Association, who had served as the arbiter in the dispute.

The Trump campaign filed the lawsuit in arbitration in August 2018, on the same day of the release of Manigault Newman's book "Unhinged: An Insiders Account of the Trump White House," her behind-the-scenes look at working for Trump.

In his September decision in Manigault Newman's favor, the arbiter rejected the Trump campaign's claims that she had violated the agreement.
