Trump must sit for deposition in Zervos defamation case: judge

President Trump must sit for seven hours of questioning in the defamation case filed by a former contestant on his reality TV show, a judge ruled Tuesday — but it’s unclear if he’ll get grilled about other women’s allegations of sexual assault and harassment.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Schecter ordered that Trump be deposed by Jan. 31 and told lawyers on both sides to submit written arguments on whether Summer Zervos’ lawyer can ask him about the other accusers.

The issue could prove thorny for Trump, because the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton grew out of a deposition in which he falsely denied having sex with White House intern Monica Lewinksy.

I have no idea how these he-said/she-said cases ever get the light of day...

There's no way any of this can be proven, but it's just another thing to attempt to tie Trump down and impeach.

He’ll get it delayed. This judge can shove it.

“Mr. President, I’m going to ask you a few questions about Summer Zervos. But first, let’s explore your connections to Russia and your relationship to Vladimir Putin ...”

Won’t happen and can’t happen.

Sheesh.

Tell me that Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Schecter outranks the leader of the free world.

[jazminerose]

He can ignore the subpoena. And should.

Nice try. No cigar, so to speak.

Lol. Not going to happen.

From Wikipedia:

Jennifer "Jenny" Diane Schecter is a fictional character from the American Showtime television drama series The L Word, played by Mia Kirshner. Jenny debuted on-screen during the pilot episode and remained until the series' final episode. Jenny became well documented in the media for her outlandish plots. Jenny was created by series creator Ilene Chaiken, based on herself as a younger woman living in the lesbian community.

That's what turned up from a google search. Evidently JUDGE Jennifer Schechter is a different Jenny Schechter, although they would seem to be somewhat similar. Anyway, this one's good looking.

Well HELL! Now we're not even bothering to enlist FEDERAL Judges.

I wonder if Justice Tom Schilling, traffic-court judge of Spokane, Washington, can demand Trump show up in his court next Tuesday!

Judge Wapner would like Trump to testify in the poodle piddled on the carpet trial, cuz he doesnt have anything more important to do.

Trump to court: See you in 2025 sucker!

I hope so as this is from 2007. Hell, we could not prosecute any of these FBI or DOJ types for actions in 2007 unless murder or an offense with a very lengthy statute of limitation. Seems to me when I looked up how far back they could go on these federal types most things were seven years?

> President Trump must sit for seven hours of questioning... <

Ha Ha Ha! Now that’s funny. And who said that judges don’t have a sense of humor?

[PghBaldy]

Thanks to the idiotic SCOTUS who allowed the case against Clinton to go forward, as they assumed it would not interfere with Presidential duties.

I see the swamp is down to plan J in subset of plan U.

[DesertRhino]

No way a judge can hog an entire day of the leader of the free world. Actually a few days of his because some TV person got butthurt.

And furthermore, the judge just magically comes up with a deposition that must last 7 hours?
It’ll never happen.

And as an ultimate last resort, they can simply buy off the grifter with a settlement.

This is being designed to supposedly catch Trump lying on a deposition or testimony. It is so obvious.

Nice, but incorrect. LOL! My research revealed a hag who belongs to an outfit called “Village Independent Democrats.” Surprise!

[Lumper20]

The NY Post says 2007. This female was born in 1998 according to WIKI, I doubt Trump groped an 8-9 year old. I have never liked Allred. Seems she parades young liberal/progressive women around when there is a wealthy man. What has she done for any conservative woman?

[plain talk]

The particular case is unimportant. What's important is they want to catch Trump in a so-called lie under oath. Probably all kinds of absurd cases will come out of the woodwork supposedly requiring Trump to testify. The dems are clever.
