Trump sued for defamation

President-elect Donald Trump was hit with a defamation lawsuit on Tuesday by a former contestant on his reality television show “The Apprentice,” who had previously accused him of sexual misconduct, reports AFP from Los Angeles.
Summer Zervos’s lawsuit claims that Trump—set to become the 45th US president on Friday—lied when responding to allegations that he tried to kiss and grope her without her consent.
Trump is a “liar and misogynist” who has “debased and denigrated Zervos with false statements about her,” the lawsuit says.
The Republican president-elect, who faced a spate of sexual misconduct accusations in the weeks leading up to the election, has previously denied any wrongdoing and vowed to sue the more than a dozen women behind the claims.
“All of these liars will be sued after the election is over,” Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania in October. He has yet to file suit. Zervos’s attorney Gloria Allred said her client—who previously said she would not take any legal action against the president-elect if he did not sue and if he retracted his comments—had a change of heart as Trump has shown no remorse for his alleged behavior and had “lied” further to cover it up.

The longtime women’s rights attorney said her 42-year-old client had passed a lie detector test concerning her allegations before filing the suit.
“It takes a great deal of courage to sue the most powerful man on the planet,” Allred told reporters at a news conference in Los Angeles, adding that Zervos was well aware of the risks she was taking by going after Trump.
In a statement read to reporters, Zervos said she would be willing to drop the case if Trump agreed to retract his comments about her and if he acknowledged she had told the truth about their encounter.
