Trump White House ballroom donors requested to sign NDAs restricting public discussion of fundraising events.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – According to documents reviewed by this station, donors attending fundraising events in the White House ballroom under the administration of President Donald Trump were required to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) as a condition of entry. The agreements, described as standard practice by event organizers, prohibited invitees from publicly discussing the details of the gatherings, including the identities of other attendees and the specific nature of fundraising discussions. The measure was reportedly implemented to protect the privacy of high-value donors and to manage the flow of information regarding campaign finance operations. This practice, while legal under campaign finance law, has raised questions about the transparency of political funding events held at the official residence of the President. The full implications of these NDAs on public accountability remain under review.
