The one-page
filing with a New York state court did not give the terms of the
settlement.
Nunberg's attorney, Andrew Miltenberg, said "the matter was
amicably resolved" but he declined to comment further. The Trump
campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Nunberg said in court filings in July that Trump accused him of
being the source for a New York Post story in May that recounted
a public argument between Corey Lewandowski, who was then the
campaign manager, and Hope Hicks, Trump's spokeswoman.
In the affidavit, Nunberg said the argument was part of a
"sordid and apparently illicit affair" between the two. He
denied being the source for the New York Post story.
Lewandowski was fired by the campaign in June, a move apparently
unrelated to the Post story.
A Trump Organization lawyer, Alan Garten, last month called
Nunberg's allegations "categorically untrue."
The Trump campaign fired Nunberg in August 2015 after the
discovery of Facebook posts that critics deemed racist. Nunberg
has denied he wrote the posts.
