Interesting: Trump has a deadline to sit for his deposition in a defamation lawsuit

I wonder why this topic isn't more prominently featured in the media?

Link to the MSN story from ABC News here.

Trump records 'strongly corroborate' sex assault claims, accuser says

President Donald Trump’s own records "strongly corroborate" the sexual assault accusations of Summer Zervos and belie the president’s denials, the former contestant on "The Apprentice" said in a court filing Thursday.

Zervos has alleged Trump "repeatedly touched her, groped her, and kissed her" on multiple occasions in late 2007 and early 2008, but he has denied it and called her a liar.

But this really interesting tidbit is way down at the bottom of the story:

Trump faces a deadline of Dec. 6 to sit for a deposition in this case. In a ruling issued last week, the court ordered Trump to submit four possible deposition dates between now and then

The president argued unsuccessfully that the state had no jurisdiction over him to hear Zervos’ defamation case. He had threatened to appeal to New York’s highest court but has never followed through.

The President of the United States has been ordered by a court to sit for a deposition by December 6 in a defamation case against him. This seems rather extraordinary, don't you think?

But the paucity of coverage by the liberal media is so weird. We have all the ingredients for a media frenzy with the sex and the powerful men and the attempts to silence the accuser. After a very brief initial burst of stories, the same blackout of coverage attended the publication of "All the President's Women" earlier this month.
