June 9: Why the Summer Zervos case might be the most dangerous for Trump
President Trump may never sit for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller, but it’s looking more likely he’ll have to answer questions as part of a defamation lawsuit filed by a former contestant on “The Apprentice.”
A ruling by a New York state judge this week said Trump can be deposed in the defamation lawsuit filed by Summer Zervos, the former contestant who has accused Trump of unwanted advances.
Some see the legal fight, which has received less publicity than other cases, as the most dangerous to Trump because it could lead to testimony where he’d risk lying or making a misstatement under oath.

June 14: Two Major Lawsuits Facing President Trump Hinge on This Constitutional Question
On Thursday, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood sued Trump and three of his children over allegedly misusing a family charity for personal business, such as paying off creditors.
That same day, New York’s highest court rejected an appeal from Trump’s lawyers to dismiss or delay a defamation case brought by former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos against Trump.
The two cases are underpinned by the same contention: a sitting president can be subject to a civil lawsuit in a state court.
As it turns out, that’s an unresolved question, and Trump’s lawyers have tried to use it to his advantage.

October 18: Judges consider state court’s power over Trump in lawsuit
Appeals court judges weighing President Donald Trump’s bid to shut down a former “Apprentice” contestant’s defamation suit against him are asking a hypothetical question: Could a New York court order the president to jail if he were to buck an order in the case?
The question came up — but wasn’t definitively answered — as lawyers for Trump and ex-contestant Summer Zervos argued Thursday in a New York appeals court.
Zervos sued Trump for calling her a liar after she accused him of unwanted kissing and groping in two incidents in 2007. Trump’s lawyers are trying to get the case dismissed or delayed until after his presidency.

October 31: President Trump to turn over calendars in Summer Zervos' defamation lawsuit
President Donald Trump will turn over portions of his calendars and journals as he battles a defamation lawsuit filed against him by Summer Zervos, a one-time contestant on his former TV show The Apprentice.
The Trump Organization, his New York City-based business, will produce Trump's calendars and or journal entries from November 2007 through February 2008, according to a legal stipulation signed by attorneys for both sides and filed in New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday.
The four-month period includes entries that outlined Trump's days during December 2007, the time when Zervos alleges he groped and forcibly kissed her in Los Angeles' Beverley Hills Hotel.
Zervos has also charged that Trump “ambushed” her more than once during 2007 — six years before he was elected president — by kissing her on the mouth, touching her breast and pressing his genitals against her.
