  • President-elect Donald Trump's demand for his incoming administration to be free of those with ties to a long list of Republican enemies and others with "Trump Derangement Syndrome" appears to ignore one of his own Cabinet picks.

The article from MSN discusses a new request by former President Donald Trump for his staffers to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that would last indefinitely. This move has raised concerns about its legality and enforceability, especially since Trump is currently facing multiple legal challenges. Legal experts argue that such NDAs could potentially violate First Amendment rights, particularly if they are used to silence whistleblowers or prevent the disclosure of information that might be in the public interest. Furthermore, the enforceability of perpetual NDAs is questionable, as courts often limit the duration of such agreements to what is considered reasonable. The request comes at a time when Trump's political activities and legal battles are under intense scrutiny, adding another layer of complexity to his interactions with current and former staff.
