A former White House aide who penned an insider account about President Trump is now suing the president after Trump’s lawyers filed an arbitration claim saying the book violated a nondisclosure agreement.
The former communications aide, Cliff Sims, filed the suit in District of Columbia court Monday after Trump’s lawyers began arbitration proceedings late last month and the president attacked Sims on Twitter as a low-level “gofer.”
“I’m not going to be bullied on this,” Sims said during an interview Tuesday on CNN. “That’s what we try to teach our kids to do when bullies are coming after them. … I’m not going to cower.”
