Now Trump has been screwed over after screwing a porn star because Bill Clinton screwed his intern. Isn’t it ironic?
Being president doesn’t immunize Donald Trump from a defamation claim filed by Summer Zervos, the former Apprentice contestant who claims Trump defamed her, a New York trial judge ruled Tuesday. The judge’s rationale is rooted in the lawsuit Paula Jones filed against former president Bill Clinton, which made it to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1997.
“No one is above the law,” New York judge Jennifer G. Schecter said at the outset of an analysis which refused to dismiss the Zervos lawsuit and refused to put the case on hold until the end of Trump’s presidency. The judge’s ruling is not a final decision on the merits.
Zervos was a contestant on “The Apprentice” in 2005. She stayed in touch with Trump and in 2016 claimed Trump groped her and pressed his private parts against hers back in 2007. Trump said she was lying. She sued for defamation. In response, Trump argued that presidential immunity barred Zervos from suing.
Wow. I doubt he’ll find the humor in this development.
Here’s what Trump had said before about the accusations:
These allegations are 100% false. They are made up, they never happened. It’s not hard to find a small handful of people willing to make false smears for personal fame, who knows, maybe for financial reasons, political purposes, or for the simple reason they want to stop our movement. They want to stop our campaign. Very simple. These claims defy reason, truth, logic, common sense. They’re made without supporting witnesses. No witnesses. Hey, you know, 28 years ago, 10 years ago, 14 years ago, 12 years ago. Not me. Believe me. Not me. Not me.
Very interesting – it looks like President Trump is heading to court…
Here’s the press conference from a while back with Zervos:
