A Manhattan judge has cleared the way for President Trump to be deposed in a defamation lawsuit filed by a former “Apprentice” contestant who has accused Trump of sexual assault — allegations he denies.
A Manhattan judge has again denied President Donald Trump's request to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by former"Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos against him, clearing the way for the President to be deposed by January 31.
Trump's legal team had argued that a stay is necessary"given the novel and important Constitutional issues involved," the"special considerations due" their previous requests to dismiss the case, and to prevent"irreparable harm."New York state Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Schecter on Monday, however, rejected the request, allowing for the case to move forward. Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNN.
