The Trump campaign has hired Hulk Hogan lawyer Charles Harder for its arbitration action against former "Apprentice star" and fired White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman, CNBC reported.
Harder, who represented the wrestler in his contentious sex-tape lawsuit against the gossip site Gawker, was brought on amid the rollout of Omarosa's new book that makes a number of allegations about President Donald Trump, including that he is a racist.
The Trump campaign on Tuesday filed an arbitration complaint accusing Omarosa of breaching her 2016 confidentiality pact with the campaign.
Harder has represented both the president and Melania Trump, winning damages and an apology for the first lady in 2017 after settling a defamation lawsuit against U.K.-based tabloid The Daily Mail, which published an article that said the first lady worked for an escort service, CNBC reported.
Harder repped Trump in a California case brought by porn star Stormy Daniels, who is suing Trump and his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, CNBC reported. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed the suit to nullify a non-disclosure deal she signed in exchange for $130,000 before the 2016 election.
