Trump must face 'Apprentice' contestant's defamation lawsuit -NY court

 

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York state's highest court on Tuesday cleared the way for a former contestant on "The Apprentice" to sue Donald Trump for defamation, after the former U.S. president called her a liar for accusing him of sexual assault.

 

Trump had argued before leaving the White House on Jan. 20 that Summer Zervos could not pursue her case because a sitting president could not be sued, but the state Court of Appeals said in a brief order that "the issues presented have become moot."

 

Zervos' case will now return to a Manhattan trial court, where her lawyers may have an opportunity to question Trump under oath. The case had been on hold during Trump's appeal.

 

"Now a private citizen, the defendant has no further excuse to delay justice for Ms. Zervos, and we are eager to get back to the trial court and prove her claims," Beth Wilkinson, a lawyer for Zervos, said in an email.

 

Lawyers for Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

 

Zervos came forward during the 2016 presidential campaign with accusations that Trump subjected her to unwanted kissing and groping after she sought career advice in 2007, two years after her appearance on his reality television show.

 

She sued Trump in January 2017 after he branded such allegations by women "lies" and retweeted a post calling Zervos' claims a "hoax."

 

Zervos has sought a retraction or an apology, plus compensatory damages and punitive damages.

 

Trump has denied Zervos' claims, and called her case politically motivated.

 

Former Elle magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll is also suing Trump for defamation, after he denied having raped her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in the mid-1990s.

 

Trump has also denied claims by several other women of improper sexual conduct.

Which makes an interesting timing coincidence.

Evergreen BLOCK removed.

 

Does that mean, the GJ's & the GITMO hearings etc are over? Now it's time to release to the public?

 

Still think HRC, Podesta etc were arrested then, it just wasn't made public. Yet.

Thanks to Covid hoax, Green screen, CGI, ZOOM etc has been unquestioned by General Pop.
