New York court dismisses Trump appeal in Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos lawsuit
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/06/new-york-court-dismisses-trump-appeal-apprentice-contestant-summer-zervos-lawsuit/
New York states highest court on Thursday rejected U.S. President Donald Trumps latest bid to avoid potentially having to answer questions under oath in a defamation lawsuit by a former contestant on his television show The Apprentice.
The states Court of Appeals dismissed Trumps request to halt Summer Zervos lawsuit for calling her a liar after she accused him of sexual misconduct.
It said the underlying ruling from which Trump was appealing was not a final ruling, warranting the appeals dismissal.
Trump and his lawyer Marc Kasowitz have argued that the U.S. Constitution deprives state courts of jurisdiction over sitting presidents, and that Trump is immune from lawsuits over private conduct predating his entering the White House.
Thursdays order marked the third time Trump failed to end Zervos lawsuit or at least delay it until after he left office.
Emily Thall, a spokeswoman for Kasowitz, said Thursdays order was on purely procedural grounds and did not address the merits of Trumps case.
