New York court says Trump cant delay defamation lawsuit
By Associated Press May 17 at 12:46 PM
NEW YORK A New York court said Thursday that former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos can proceed with her defamation lawsuit against President Donald Trump, at least for now.
The ruling by the Supreme Courts appellate division means Zervos lawyers can press ahead with a demand for Trump campaign documents and other records while they await another appeals court decision that is likely months away.
Trumps lawyers had asked to put the case on ice until appeals judges decide whether to dismiss it or postpone it past his presidency. Thats likely to take at least until fall.
....
Zervos, a California restaurateur, appeared on Trumps former show, The Apprentice, in 2006. She says he subjected her to unwanted groping and kisses when she sought career advice in 2007.

(3,010 posts)I've heard from several sources that sitting presidents can't be indicted. I don't know whether that's true, but for the sake of argument, let's assume it is.
Can someone be indicted for acts committed as president after leaving office, assuming the statute of limitations hasn't expired?
And I'm thinking that the statute of limitations can be extended under special circumstances.
