But when he believes that he or his companies have been wronged in some way, he has always run straight to court. He has done so thousands of times.
Trump has long used forced arbitration clauses to prevent anyone from bringing legal cases in open court against him. Typical is the case involving Stormy Daniels, a former adult film actress who received “hush money” before the 2016 presidential election as she shopped a story about a sexual liaison with Trump a decade earlier. On May 3, 2018, Trump tweeted (referring to his lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen) :Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA.
These agreements are..... ...very common among celebrities and people of wealth. In this case it is in full force and effect and will be used in Arbitration for damages against Ms. Clifford (Daniels). The agreement was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair....
