Summer Zervos’s Lawsuit Can Proceed

“An appellate court in New York has rejected President Trump’s assertion that a sitting president cannot be sued in state court — a ruling stemming from a defamation lawsuit filed by a former The Apprentice contestant who accused the president of groping and kissing her in 2007,” ABC News reports.

“Summer Zervos’ lawsuit is now allowed to proceed with the prospect of the president having to sit for a deposition.”

The Washington Post notes the court cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Clinton v. Jones, which established that presidents can be sued while in office for unofficial acts.
