Denson was seeking class-action status for the suit when the settlement was reached last week.
But the deal was in jeopardy late last month when attorneys for Trump’s campaign insisted the monetary amount be kept secret. U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe ruled that the amount had to be disclosed if the agreement was to proceed, Bloomberg reported.
Denson’s lawyer David Bowles hailed the settlement jettisoning the NDAs.
“We think that this NDA was entirely unreasonable from the beginning,” Bowles told The New York Times.
“No attorney should have ever drafted it, and no campaign worker should have ever been compelled to sign it,” he added, calling the “unwinding of the NDA a triumph for free speech, for democracy and for Jessica Denson.”
Denson was also represented by the nonprofit public interest group Protect Democracy.
Trump campaign attorneys could not immediately be reached for comment.
Denson, who had not been seeking damages, will receive $25,000 as an “incentive” fee for pressing the case. The rest of the settlement amount will cover legal fees and other costs, according to the court filing.
