Donald Trump's Non-Disclosure Agreements
Various news reports have indicated that people who work for Donald Trump are required to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements in order to be hired and to protect Mr. Trump's privacy. Briefly, these agreements are designed to protect personal, confidential and proprietary information between the parties.
There's a story that is becoming public about a former campaign staffer who is now embroiled in a $10 million lawsuit with Mr. Trump for allegedly violating his NDA:

Let me be clear, I am not a lawyer but in my business, I've signed many NDA's. In these associations, I often become aware of facts and information that my business partners wish to remain private. In general, these agreements are no big deal and the things I learn aren't really interesting to anyone else. I've never even had to think about violating these contracts. Plus, were I to do so, it would damage my reputation and subsequently, my business.
From various news accounts I've read over the years about Mr. Trump's employees, it's been clear that he is very strict about the NDA's his companies require. Since I think Mr. Trump is a fake, a phony and a con-man, I don't feel the least bit hesitant to speculate, perhaps wildly, about why he needs these agreements. It's simply that everything he does has many layers of malfeasance, dishonesty and possibly illegality. He cannot let any of this information become public or his house of cards could be threatened. For most of his life, Mr. Trump has been able to make any claim about himself that he wanted to because there was no transparency to his business. After all, he was just a celebrity. Now that he is running for the presidency, that cloak of protection needs to be pierced so the American voters can fairly and knowledgeably determine if he has the qualities for the presidency.
Here's a question for a legal expert: if an NDA prevents one of the parties of the agreement from revealing an illegal act by the other party, is it an enforceable contract?
If Sam Nunberg's lawsuit garners any publicity, it would be a fascinating development if other former Trump employees came forward with information that violated their NDA's. If Mr. Trump and his lawyers were overwhelmed with these violations and his resulting lawsuits, especially during the presidential campaign, think of the additional chaos that would add to Mr. Trump's life. It could be that, as Lawrence O'Donnell once said of Donald Trump, ultimately he won't sue all of these people because Mr. Trump can't afford those suits, both financially and personally.

Trump's main defense is most likely the cost of the lawsuits. In effect, nobody can afford to defend them, so they settle.
This sounds like some very fertile ground for investigations. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
In so many situations like this, the one crying loudest is the one who is actually guilty.
