Trump fails to end 'Apprentice' contestant's defamation lawsuit | Reuters
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York state appeals court rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s effort to dismiss a defamation lawsuit by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on his television show “The Apprentice,” or delay it until after he leaves the White House.
In a 3-2 decision on Thursday, the Appellate Division in Manhattan said the U.S. Constitution did not strip state courts of power to decide cases arising under state constitutions, even if they involved sitting presidents.
====================================
Justice Renwick: Trump, is 'not above the law.' Looks like the Groper-in-Chief will have to sit through a deposition, something he's had a lot of practice at.
