Trump to send written answers under oath in defamation lawsuit from former ‘Apprentice’ contestant: report
By Avery Anapol - 09/09/18 07:48 AM EDT
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.

Does the name 'Paula Jones' ring a bell?

The President doesn't have to answer though. It is his choice. In Bill Clinton's case, it was the second biggest mistake he ever made (after marrying Hillary). Had Clinton not challenged the Jones suit, no one would ever have known about Monica and her dirty dress. Clinton never would have been impeached. And Algore would have won the white house in 2000. Of course Jones would have won her suit and would have been awarded the maximum damage possible under Arkansas law - $39,000.

The prime difference being that Bubba was an elected official abusing public office,and Trump was a private citizen running a tv show.
