Using non-disclosure agreements (NDA) against a candidate is unfair and misleading
Stormy Daniels Micheal Avenatti /w a CNN anchor
Porn actress Stormy Daniels had a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Donald Trump which she violated and got sued for. She formerly claimed that she had an affair with Trump, so Trump wrote her a check with an NDA to make her go away. When it came down to the wire Daniels was forced to admit that she did NOT have sex with Donald Trump.
When you are wealthy or a celebrity, it is often cheaper to write someone a check than to go to court and deal with the bad publicity. Con artists like Stormy Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti know that which is why they take these cases for a quick buck.
NOTE: Avenatti is now in jail for blackmailing the NIKE corporation.
In this regard, Michael Bloomberg is no different than Donald Trump. Just because you have an NDA with someone does NOT mean you are guilty; quite often the opposite.
