As a real estate executive and reality TV star, Donald J. Trump tightly
controlled his image by insisting that everyone around him sign
nondisclosure agreements. . .
A few months into his presidency, Mr. Trump. . .ordered Reince Priebus, then his chief of staff, to do the same
thing in the West Wing.
The
nondisclosure agreement, presented by Mr. Priebus to the senior staff
last April. . .was an early indication that Mr. Trump,
who spent decades using pressure tactics and secrecy in his private
life, wanted to do the same thing at the White House. . . .
