Donald Trump hit with a defamation law suit

‘Apprentice’ ex-contestant sues Prez-elect

President-elect Donald Trump was hit with a defamation lawsuit by a former contestant on his reality television show “The Apprentice” who had previously accused him of sexual misconduct. 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 has “debased and denigrated Zervos with false statements about her,” the lawsuit says. Trump, who faced a series of sexual misconduct accusations during the campaign, has denied any wrongdoing and vowed to sue the women behind the claims.
