NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s highest court has turned down President Donald Trump’s latest bid to delay a defamation suit filed by a former contestant on “The Apprentice” who accused him of unwanted groping and kissing.
The state Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.
Trump wanted Summer Zervos’ lawsuit frozen while a lower appellate court weighs his request to dismiss it or postpone it until after his presidency.
Zervos’ lawyer, Mariann Wang, says she looks forward to proceeding with the case “and exposing the truth.”
Trump’s lawyers at Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP note that Thursday’s ruling doesn’t decide their main argument: That a sitting president can’t be sued in a state court.
Zervos says Trump made unwanted advances in 2007, then defamed her by saying she lied. The Republican president has denied her allegations.
All together now… “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOOOOOU!”
Happy Birthday once again, Defendant.
So many presents today from all the haters and losers.
Good! We need more lawsuits and court dates to keep Dotard from ruining any more relationships with our allies, and sucking up to dictators!
The only good this will do is to force The Dumpster to choose which he is gonna Tweet about. There are so many choices for the rants that it would be nice to see a head explode.
