Trump to send written answers under oath in defamation lawsuit from former ‘Apprentice’ contestant: report

President Trump will reportedly send written answers under oath to questions in the defamation lawsuit from a former “Apprentice†contestant who has accused him of sexual assault.
New court filings show that Trump’s lawyers reached an agreement with lawyers for Summer Zervos to exchange “written answers and objections†ahead of a Sept. 28 deadline, according to The Washington Post.
According to the Post, New York state rules require Trump’s answers to be sworn or verified, meaning that he could be open to perjury charges if the answers are false.
Zervos brought the lawsuit against Trump shortly before his inauguration, alleging that the president defamed her by publicly claiming that she fabricated her assault accusations against him.
