A court in New York ruled Thursday that a defamation lawsuit brought by a former contestant on Donald Trump’s reality television show “The Apprentice” can proceed. Summer Zervos has accused Trump of repeatedly sexually assaulting her during a meeting in 2007, saying he kissed her on the lips, pressed his body against hers and groped her breasts, all without her consent. She’s one of at least 16 women who’ve publicly accused Trump of sexual misconduct. After Trump called Zervos and other women accusers “liars” during the 2016 campaign, Zervos sued Trump for defamation, demanding an apology and compensation. Trump’s lawyers have argued the president is immune from all civil lawsuits filed in state court until he leaves office.
