Are Trump’s NDAs legal?
Donald Trump is not the first executive to use nondisclosure agreements to prevent federal employees from reporting abuses of authority or violations of law.

The overwhelming majority of employees will not challenge restrictive gag orders for fear of being sued or losing their job. Payments of money for silence undermine law enforcement and erode democracy.
