President Trump may never sit for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller, but it’s looking more likely he’ll have to answer questions as part of a defamation lawsuit filed by a former contestant on “The Apprentice.”
A ruling by a New York state judge this week said Trump can be deposed in the defamation lawsuit filed by Summer Zervos, the former contestant who has accused Trump of unwanted advances.
Some see the legal fight, which has received less publicity than other cases, as the most dangerous to Trump because it could lead to testimony where he’d risk lying or making a misstatement under oath.
But legal experts expect Trump’s attorneys to do everything they can to keep him from being interviewed.
“It will not surprise me if they do everything and anything they can to stall this case and the taking of Mr. Trump’s deposition,” said Gloria Allred, who previously represented Zervos in the case.
Allred, however, predicted the efforts will be unsuccessful.

Resting b face
Ugh
That was my exact thought. A real barker.
It’s like these women have crossed the threshold of “good looking” in society (I don’t agree with the premise), have done very little to move on and are ready made to humiliate themselves for politics and money. I actually care nothing of the moaning and groaning, frivolous lawsuits and same POS scumbag lawyers trotting out these bitter over the hill women.
How things change.
SUMMER ZERVOS, Age: 31, Residence: Huntington Beach
Experience: Started as a restaurant salad girl at 13, now owns Sunny’s Restaurant in Huntington Beach.
Summer Zervos paid little attention to “The Apprentice” before she auditioned for it last year, but she still felt she knew what to expect. “When you work at a restaurant, the people who sit at the counter every day, they know everything about everything,” Zervos says.
“They watched the show and so we’d talk about what we’d do in those kinds of situations.”
She auditioned in Huntington Beach last spring and after many rounds of interviews was chosen for the show.
“Getting on the show is a full-time job, and so when you’re picked, you think, ‘Gosh, it was hard to get there, what’s next?'” Zervos says.
“It’s extremely intense,” Zervos says of the experience. “Hard work. I learned a lot about myself and how you respond when the pressure’s on. I left admiring Donald Trump a lot more than when I arrived.”
Hard work and hard times are things she feels she shares with Trump.
Her family had always worked in the restaurant industry, and most still do today, even after business woes caused them to lose their restaurants and to have to start over from scratch.
“They went bankrupt at the same time that Donald Trump did,” Zervos says. “He came out a little better than we did.”
She loves her restaurant, but the opportunity of “The Apprentice” seemed a once-in-a-lifetime shot. “Here’s a show that provides an opportunity to work for several companies and see how you’d do,” Zervos says. “A pretty exciting opportunity, wouldn’t you say?”

What seems to be lost in the analysis is that this person interjected herself into the campaign and Trump responded to her charges by denying them. Unlike Paula Jones, there are serious speech issues here. In virtually every campaign there are charges and counter charges and denials. Will each one result in a civil complaint, where the victor is deposed?
Where you deliberately interject yourself into a very public debate, you become a public figure speaking about a public campaign issue of general importance. Not only should persons who bring charges be protected from suit, so are the responses.
I cannot see Trump being compelled here, lest this become common practice.
Isn’t it a he said, she said type situation?
I hope you realize, yesthatjallen, that the Hill is a commie, lying, POS website and that nothing that The Hill has ever claimed has come to fruition.
Do carry on....
Better put some ice on it
Everybody lies about sex
Where does this seven hour deposition figure come from? That's incredible that it could take so long, and how does anyone know how long it would take?
And this is from 2007. There must really be some long statutes of limitation for this sort of thing. Unreal that a claim of unwanted advances could be drug up from eleven years ago.
This tells me that the media has realized that the Stormy Daniels case is going nowhere, and they have moved on to the next whining woman.
Yuck. She needs to put some powder on her oily face.
She is in need of the Tammy Baker 5 gallon bucket of “Hide All”!
A civil suit deposition? His attorney would be present and object to every question. Not even close to the same as being interrogated by the feds.
There are obviously no witnesses that she can bring forward so why has this even got this far?
Countless women can now step forward and make the same false accusation.
Trump hating NY Judge!
LOL. Every prediction of doom for DJT has ended in hilarity. Do they EVER stop?
Normal women say "No." and move on with their lives - what kind of emotional cripple is 'damaged" by such? They are probably more damaged when no men ever try to hit on them....
Since when does a state court judge have authority over the President of the United States??
