Warren creates document to release people from NDAs with Bloomberg

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) drafted a document her fellow presidential candidate  Michael Bloomberg can sign to release his former employees from nondisclosure agreements (NDAs). 

Warren, who has been calling on Bloomberg to release people who used to work for his company from the secrecy agreements for months, unveiled her document Thursday during a CNN town hall in Nevada. 

“So I used to teach contract law. And I thought I would make this easy. I wrote up a release and covenant not to sue. And all that Mayor Bloomberg has to do is download it. I’ll text it. Sign it. And then the women, or men, will be free to speak and tell their own stories,” Warren said. 

“I used to teach contract law. And I thought I would make this easy.”

She then read the document during the town hall, adding, “I think that the mayor should sign this and that we all have a right to see.”

She also tweeted a copy of the document on Thursday evening.

Bloomberg has said he will not release his former employees from their nondisclosure agreements since launching his campaign. He again said so Wednesday night during the debate when pressed by Warren about the allegations of sexual harassment. 

An official for the Bloomberg campaign was not immediately available for comment.
