TFG aims to countersue sex assault accuser who sued him
NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump wants to countersue a former “Apprentice” contestant who accused him of defaming her when he denied her sexual assault allegations.
Saying that Trump is being harassed to keep him from speaking freely, his lawyer asked a court's permission Monday to pursue a counterclaim against Summer Zervos.
The request comes as Zervos' nearly five-year-old defamation suit is nearing an important phase. Both he and she are due to undergo questioning under oath by Dec. 23.
Zervos says Trump hurt her reputation by saying she lied in accusing him of unwelcome kissing and groping in 2007 — claims she aired publicly during his 2016 presidential campaign.
