Atty Gloria Allred: Trump Accuser Split Not Due To Merits Of Case Against Prez

[DemocratSinceBirth]

NEW YORK (AP) — Attorney Gloria Allred says she’s no longer representing a former contestant on “The Apprentice” who has accused President Donald Trump of unwanted kissing and groping.

Allred is famous for advocating for women who accuse powerful men of sexual harassment. She didn’t disclose a reason for her split with Summer Zervos.

The decision came days after a New York court said Zervos could proceed with a defamation lawsuit against the Republican president.

Zervos says Trump hurt her reputation by publicly denying her claims that he subjected her to unwanted advances.

Most of the legal work in the lawsuit was being performed by a different attorney, Mariann Wang, who continues to represent Zervos.

Allred said her firm’s withdrawal “has nothing to do with the merits of her case against President Trump.”

1. The article says most of the work is being done by a different attorney..

so it makes sense Summer Zervos would drop Allred.

3. Could it be...........

Allred is positioning herself to serve as IQ45's own attorney (seems like nobody else wants the job)?

4. She should hire Avenatti.

That guy is a pit bull!

5. Allred doesn't actually represent clients in court proceedings

Allred is primarily a PR agent. She doesn't actually litigate.

I love this line:

Most of the legal work in the lawsuit was being performed by a different attorney, Mariann Wang, who continues to represent Zervos.

Wherein "most of the legal work" means "all of the actual legal work".
