Fired Former Trump Campaign Manager Loses $1.2M Book Deal Over Non-Disclosure Agreement

From Politico:

Corey Lewandowski had a $1.2-million offer from HarperCollins to write a book chronicling his time running Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, but the publishing giant backed away from the deal amid concerns about Lewandowski’s nondisclosure agreement, according to two sources familiar with the talks.

Lewandowski, working through a California-based representative named Robert Stryk, began soliciting offers for a book, tentatively titled “Let Trump be Trump,” from multiple publishers in March, while he was working as Trump’s campaign manager, according to one of the sources, a Republican operative.

A source in the publishing industry said Lewandowski’s representative received at least some interest from as many as five publishing houses, but that, in several cases, there was concern about how his nondisclosure agreement might affect any resulting book.

Lewandowski had reportedly told HarperCollins that he had permission from Trump to write the book. Last week he was hired by CNN even though his contract does not allow him to publicly disparage his former employer. He will be a Trump delegate at the convention.
