DONALD TRUMP WILL HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS UNDER OATH FROM 'APPRENTICE' SEXUAL ASSAULT ACCUSER SUMMER ZERVOS

President Donald Trump’s legal troubles are mounting.

He will now have to answer questions under oath in regards to a defamation lawsuit that Summer Zervos, a former contestant on his reality television show The Apprentice, brought against him. Zervos sued Trump over how he responded to her allegations he sexually assaulted her.

Attorneys for both sides signed a stipulation agreement on Friday stating that Zervos and Trump would submit written answers and objections to questions by September 28, under oath, Law & Crime reported. If Trump or Zervos make false statements, they could face perjury charges.

The development is a stride forward for Zervos. Her lawyer, Mariann Wang, said in court on Friday that Trump’s business, the Trump Organization, would not hand over discovery materials as both parties had agreed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

If they went through with the suit, you can bet that Michael Avenatti would have forced DT to testify.
They’re settling with Michael Cohen claiming he’s going after her for the $130k.
