The New York Post reports an exclusive:
President Trump must face a defamation suit filed by former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos after a Manhattan Supreme Court judge denied him immunity through his job as the nation’s commander-in-chief.
“In Clinton v Jones the United States Supreme Court held that a sitting president is not immune from being sued in federal court for unofficial acts,” Justice Jennifer Schecter wrote in a ruling released Tuesday, citing the sexual harassment suit that led to the 1998 impeachment of President Bill Clinton for lying under oath about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
This means that Zervos can pursue her defamation case against Trump for saying she made up the story that he groped her and pushed his dick against her in 2007.
Donk donk.

Does this mean that we can look forward to a class-action suit for failure to pay subcontractors and others?
NYT reports a former Playboy model, who alleges having had an affair with Trump, is suing the parent company that owns the National Enquirer, which had paid her off to buy her silence before the election. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/20/us/ex-playboy-model-sues-to-break-silence-on-trump.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news
That too. It’s one of those days when it’s hard to keep up!
It’s so nice to see the GOP hoist by their own petard. There were so many shenanigans around the Clinton/Lewinski mess that never should’ve seen the light of day, but Starr was so aggressive in getting them pushed through that we now have lovely precedents to help get President Dumpster Fire out of office.
