LEGAL/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “A former contestant on ‘The Apprentice’ who accuses President Donald Trump of past sexual misconduct has filed a subpoena for ‘all documents concerning any woman who asserted that Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately,’ it was revealed on Sunday [10-15-17]…
More than a dozen women publicly accused Trump of sexual assault or misconduct during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Zervos’s subpoena calls for ‘all documents concerning any accusations that were made during Donald J. Trump’s election campaign for president, that he subjected any woman to unwanted sexual touching and/or sexually inappropriate behavior.’
The subpoena also specifically names at least 10 women and requests documentation associated with them ‘or any woman alleging that Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately.’
Trump has flatly denied the allegations, calling them ‘lies, lies, lies,’ which led Zervos to sue him for defamation. His lawyer tried to have Zervos’ defamation lawsuit dismissed in July, claiming that presidents cannot face civil lawsuits while in office.
That motion to dismiss could decide the merit of this subpoena, according to Gloria Allred, the famed women’s rights attorney representing Zervos.”
