It's called a Non Disclosure Agreement and they are pretty common.
No, this is nothing more then another fishing trip to see if they can spin anything in his financials in a bad light.

I DO see where Team Trump can make a lot of political hay with this....
Such as demanding that a certain taxpayer-paid Congressional slush fund used to secure NDA's from men and women with sexual harassment issues against our congress-critters be opened up to the public.
Or perhaps we can get some of Obama's sealed files opened up...
Even go so far as to revisit Clinton vs Paula Jones.
Bill Clinton paid Paula Jones $850,000 to settle a rape lawsuit out of court...
Isn't that essentially paying "hush money" to silence a woman?
Inquiring minds want to know!!!
As an aside, I'm wondering if Justice Roberts is going to step down in the next few weeks...
They obviously have some dirt on him.
