When Donald Trump formally declares his 2024 candidacy, he won’t just be running for another term in the White House. He’ll be running away from legal troubles, possible criminal charges, and even the specter of prison time.
In recent months, Trump has made clear to associates that the legal protections of occupying the Oval Office are front-of-mind for him, four people with knowledge of the situation tell Rolling Stone.

MGM TV head Mark Burnett — the prolific producer behind reality show staples such as “The Apprentice,” “Shark Tank,” and “Survivor” — is teaming with CNBC for a new unscripted prime-time series aimed at anyone who dreams of owning their own business.
“Business Hunters,” set to debut this fall, features aspiring entrepreneurs who leave the comfort and safety of their day jobs to take a chance on themselves by buying a business. The MGM series arrives as American employers have seen unprecedented resignation levels throughout the pandemic as workers wrestle back the power from their bosses.
“I love this format. I’ve lived it! The idea of betting on yourself is the American dream,” said Burnett, who serves as chairman of worldwide television at MGM. “This will be unlike any show I’ve ever done in the business space, because for the first time, the buyers are everyday people, just like the viewer at home.

A New York judge is giving a Dec. 23 deadline for former President Donald Trump to be deposed in the lawsuit brought by Summer Zervos, the former contestant on The Apprentice.
Reuters and other outlets reported on Monday that Trump had to submit to a deposition in the case. Zervos, who has accused Trump of groping her in 2007, sued him for defamation in 2017 after he called her and other accusers liars.
Trump has denied the allegations.
Judge Jennifer Schecter also set the Dec. 23 deadline for all other depositions and fact discovery. The attorneys must submit dates of the depositions to the court by Oct. 18, or inform the judge why they cannot agree on a time frame.

‘The Apprentice’ Contestant Summer Zervos Can Proceed With Donald Trump Defamation Suit, Court Rules

Summer Zervos, the former The Apprentice contestant suing the show’s former frontman Donald Trump for defamation, can proceed with her lawsuit now that Trump is no longer President of the United States, a New York appeals court ruled Tuesday.
Zervos, who has publicly stated that Trump kissed her during a lunch meeting at his New York office and groped her breast during a job interview at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2007, filed a defamation suit in 2017 after Trump called her and other misconduct accusers “liars.”
Trump has denied the allegations.
Today’s one-sentence appeals court ruling tossed Trump’s appeal, stating, “Motion to dismiss appeal granted and appeal dismissed, without costs, upon the ground that the issues presented have become moot.”
Zervos’ defamation case can now proceed through the court process. Her lawyers are seeking to depose the former president.

Donald Trump, the defamation suit filed against the president of the United States by a former contestant on The Apprentice, the NBC reality show Potus once fronted.

Washington — E. Jean Carroll, the advice columnist and author, has filed suit against Donald Trump, accusing the president of defaming her after she accused the president of raping her in a department store dressing room more than 20 years ago.
The suit alleges Trump lied in public statements he made when he responded to Carroll’s allegation — first published in June in New York magazine — and “smeared her integrity, honesty, and dignity,” causing her emotional pain and damage to her career.

Summer Zervos, the former “Apprentice” contestant who accused Donald Trump of groping her in 2007, now says that Trump Organization records provide “irrefutable proof” that her story is accurate and is asking a judge to unmark them as confidential.
Zervos first came forward in 2016 to accuse Trump of groping her during a meeting in 2007. A year later, Zervos sued the then-president-elect for defamation, arguing that Trump falsely branded her a liar when he called her story “totally made up nonsense.”
Now, Zervos is saying that records provided during discovery by Trump’s private company back up her story:

Zervos is suing Trump for allegedly defaming her by denying a sexual assault. During the last presidential election, as Trump was under fire for boasting to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush about grabbing women's genitals, Zervos was one of many women to come forward to accuse him of repeatedly touching her, groping her and kissing her against her will.

All 15 seasons of “The Apprentice” franchise, NBC’s quasi-reality TV show that catapulted Donald Trump to national fame, are now available to binge-watch online — for free.
Tubi inked a licensing pact for the show with MGM Television, giving the ad-supported VOD provider exclusive streaming rights to all 192 episodes. Tubi on Monday (May 6) is launching the full set, which includes the original Trump-fronted “The Apprentice” (6 seasons) and follow-on “Celebrity Apprentice” (8 seasons) as well as the single season of “The New Celebrity Apprentice” hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It’s the first time that full seasons of “The Apprentice” and its offshoots have become available on any streaming service, although the show has been available on DVD. MGM, which is one of Tubi’s strategic investors, has previously licensed other titles to the startup. The studio owns the rights to “The Apprentice,” created by Mark Burnett, who is now chairman of MGM’s worldwide television group.

Former The Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos won one and lost one in court today.
Zervos, who has accused President Trump of groping and kissing her without permission in a Beverly Hills hotel in 2007 and subsequently sued for defamation, cannot force the President to turn over evidence on other sexual assault accusations.
However, she can get communications and documents related specifically to her, said Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Schecter. Zervos was seeking Trump’s phone records and calendar from 2007.
Trump must also respond to question on whether he “had a strategy in responding” to allegations by other women, the judge said.
Zervos is suing after Trump called her allegations – released just before his inauguration – “made-up stuff” and “totally fake news.”

On the same day Donald Trump’s ex-right hand man Michael Cohen told a federal judge he paid a porn star and a Playmate hundreds of thousands of dollars of election-influencing hush money “at the direction of the candidate,” Summer Zervos wants the former Apprentice host to hand over more information on his “sexual misconduct” with a dozen other women.
Or put it this way, if Trump thinks less is more and could help make the defamation action just go away, the ex-Apprentice contestant wants a lot more.
“Defendant’s counsel have refused to produce any documents or information responsive to the interrogatories and document requests concerning such women,” said Zervos’ lawyer Mariann Wang on Tuesday, the same day Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was found guilty this afternoon by a federal jury on eight felony counts of tax and bank fraud.

On a consequential day in the presidency of Donald Trump, including news that his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty of bank and tax fraud and his former personal attorney Michael Cohen pled guilty to violating campaign finance laws by paying hush money to women, Apprentice season five contestant Summer Zervos has told a New York judge that Trump is refusing to produce documents or information concerning his sexual conduct towards women.

Special counsel Robert Mueller may have to get in line for a sit-down with Donald Trump if a New York State judge has her way in the case of a former The Apprentice contestant’s defamation lawsuit against the President. In that context, attorney Gloria Allred wants to know why Trump doesn’t want to testify if he has nothing to hide.
After rebuffing an attempt in March by the ex-Apprentice host’s lawyers to have the case tossed, Justice Jennifer Schecter today ordered that depositions in the matter by principals must be concluded by January 31, 2019.
It means Trump could have to sit for up to seven hours in the next several months and answer questions about what actually occurred between him and Summer Zervos.

A New York judge set a series of deadlines for former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos’ defamation lawsuit against President Donald Trump, as she declined to put the case on hold pending an appeal from Trump’s legal team.
The judge, Jennifer Schecter, earlier this year refused to dismiss the suit, in which Zervos claims that Trump defamed her in denying her allegations of sexual harassment. Zervos came forward with the accusations in October of 2016, following the release of the now-infamous “Access Hollywood” tape.
At a hearing on Tuesday, Trump’s attorney, Marc Kasowitz, had sought to put the case on hold until they could appeal to a higher New York court and even the Supreme Court.
“It’s merely seeking a determination at the highest level of competent jurisdiction as to the resolution of this very important constitutional issue,” Kasowitz said, according to Reuters.

President Donald Trump had a legal setback today in his efforts to stop a lawsuit by Summer Zervos, a former contestant from The Apprentice, who claims he made unwanted sexual advances and then disputed her accounts of same.
A panel of five judges in the New York Supreme Court appellate division denied a motion to stay the suit (read the ruling here). Trump’s lawyers claimed allowing the lawsuit to proceed could interfere with the president’s official duties and would unfairly put him under the purview of a state court judge.
The decision means the Zervos lawsuit can proceed unless further appeals by Trump go to the New York State Supreme Court, or a federal court intervenes.

A new development has been made in Summer Zervos’ defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump. The former Apprentice contestant, who claims that Trump sexually assaulted her twice in 2007, has issued a subpoena for footage from the reality TV competition as part of the suit.
According to the Associated Press, Zervos’ lawyer, Mariann Wang said Wednesday that the subpoena is for material from the show of Zervos or Trump talking about her or discussing other female contestants in a sexual or inappropriate way.
The subpoena not only seeks video footage, but also emails, financial records, audio recordings and other documents.
In 2007, Zervos claims that during a lunch meeting at Trump’s New York office, Trump kissed her twice without consent. The same year, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, she claims that Trump kissed her, grabbed her breasts and “thrust his genitals” at her.

Famed women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred, an ardent foe of President Trump, might not welcome a comparison to him. But there is one thing they share in common: a mastery of the media.
As witnessed in the Netflix documentary Seeing Allred, now contending for Emmy nominations, when Allred calls a news conference on behalf of a client, reporters never fail to assemble.

Summer Zervos, the season 5 Apprentice contestant who accused Donald Trump of sexual assault last month, called for the President-elect to retract his threat to sue his accusers, in a press conference on Friday.
During the press conference — hosted in Los Angeles by attorney Gloria Allred — Zervos was visibly and audibly emotional as she read a prepared statement addressing Peotus.
“Mr. Trump stated that after the election he would file lawsuits against me and the other accusers he sexually assaulted,” Zervos said, noting that since claiming that Trump assaulted her in 2007, she’s been “threatened, bullied and saw my business targeted.
