NEW YORK (AP) — A former chauffeur for President Donald Trump has dropped his lawsuit alleging he was not paid for thousands of hours of work.

Noel Cintron's attorney, Larry Hutcher, said Thursday that the case has been submitted to arbitration for resolution.

The Trump Organization had requested just such a result in papers filed in Manhattan federal court earlier this month.

The Trump Organization said Cintron was always "paid generously and in accordance with the law."

2. Arbitration can be better than lawyers ending up with most of the money if 1 side over uses lawyers.

5. "Ex-chauffeur agrees to binding arbitration, corporate lawsuit dismissed" would be too accurate

6. Yup

3. In Trumpworld, "paid generously and in accordance with the law" refers to

minimum wage and labor laws in the nation of Somalia.

Rumored to be spelled out clearly in the fine print of each of his contracts and NDAs....

4. Always ripping off the little guy

Can't wait to see him in an orange jumpsuit.
