President Trump Subpoenaed Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations

by Phil McCausland

A former contestant on "The Apprentice" who accuses President Donald Trump of past sexual misconduct has filed a subpoena for "all documents concerning any woman who asserted that Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately," it was revealed on Sunday.

Buzzfeed News first reported the existence of the court document, which names Trump's campaign organization and any applicable "directors, officers, partners, shareholders, managers, attorneys, employees, agents and representatives" as subjects.

Only a few weeks before the 2016 election, former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos alleged that Trump had tried to kiss and touch her inappropriately without her consent at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2007.


Her claim came shortly after the October 2016 release of the now-infamous "Access Hollywood" tape from 2005 in which Trump said, "And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p----. You can do anything."

More than a dozen women publicly accused Trump of sexual assault or misconduct during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Zervos' subpoena calls for "all documents concerning any accusations that were made during Donald J. Trump's election campaign for president, that he subjected any woman to unwanted sexual touching and/or sexually inappropriate behavior."

The subpoena also specifically names at least 10 women and requests documentation associated with them "or any woman alleging that Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately."

Trump has flatly denied the allegations, calling the accusations "lies, lies, lies," which led Zervos to sue him for defamation. His lawyer attempted to have Zervos' defamation lawsuit dismissed in July, claiming that presidents cannot face civil lawsuits while in office.

That motion to dismiss could decide the merit of this subpoena, according to Gloria Allred, the famed women's rights attorney representing Zervos.

"The subpoena was served, but we agreed with the campaign to adjourn their response date until after the motion to dismiss is decided, as long as they gave us assurances that the documents be preserved (which they did.)," Allred told NBC News via email.

Allred said Trump must reply to their filed opposition of his motion to dismiss by Oct 31. The court will schedule a hearing for argument once he files his reply, which means there is no hearing date yet.

Representatives for the White House, the Trump Organization and the president's personal lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump, meanwhile, was golfing Sunday with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

The grabbed pussy doth protest too much, methinks.

[viper37]

Yeah. I want free trade austerity and balanced budgets. Thing the right are now militantly against.

WTF?

What is so what-the-fuckish about what Valmy said?

As a right-winger, I can definitely say that I care about free trade and balanced budgets.

Me too.  But in the US, it seems what passes for right wing (The Republican Party) is against both, given their vote and their continued support for Donald Trump.

[DGuller]

At some point what you actually do rather than what you profess to be for is what counts.  I don't think Trump changed a lot of the right wingers as much as he unmasked them.

And Americans generally.  What degradation.   

A wrestling and reality TV star already rules the country.

One lapse of judgment doesn't excuse another.

But we are talking about the same fuck ups who led to that.

Trump Reportedly Joked That Mike Pence "Wants To Hang" All Gay People

A piece in The New Yorker published Monday says President Trump once joked about Vice President Mike Pence wanting to "hang" all gay people.

The anecdote, in the new profile of Pence by Jane Mayer, is an account of a meeting with a legal scholar, in which Trump supposedly made the comment about the vice president's thoughts on LGBT rights.

Two unnamed sources told The New Yorker that Trump jabbed at Pence for his stance on both abortion and gay rights in that meeting.

According to the piece, Trump "belittled" Pence's "determination to overturn Roe v. Wade" — the Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion.

After the scholar explained that states might go ahead and legalize abortion independently if the Supreme Court were to overturn the decision, the president then remarked to Pence that he was wasting his time.

"You see? You've wasted all this time and energy on it, and it's not going to end abortion anyway," Trump reportedly said to him.

After the conversation shifted to gay rights, Trump, according to the piece, gestured to Pence and said: "Don't ask that guy—he wants to hang them all!"

BuzzFeed News has reached out to the vice president's office for comment.

What a team of jokster you have.  You should feel lucky to have such funny people in charge of your home country.  Might be better if you extended your stay in the UK though.  For the foreseeable future.

[Valmy]

I bet Pence is delighted he signed on to this team.

[Berkut]

I bet Pence is delighted he signed on to this team.

Its by far his best chance to become President, so I am sure he is very delighted.

Nobody but the Barristers of the world would vote for such a religious zealot otherwise.

Wanna see something funny?

Watch Der Trumpenführer weasel his way through the dead soldiers discussion today.  Apparently ge doesn't call their families, because he writes letters. Or sometimes a phone call.  Or sometimes letters and a phone call. Sometimes. And Obama never did that stuff.

Such a wanker.

"I will at some point during the period of time call the parents and the families because I have done that traditionally. I felt very, very badly about that; I always feel bad. The toughest calls I have to make are the calls where this happens, soldiers are killed. It's a very difficult thing. Now, it gets to a point where you make four or five of them in one day, it's a very, very tough day. For me that's by far the toughest."

"So, the traditional way, if you look at President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn't make calls, a lot of them didn't make calls. I like to call when it's appropriate, when I think I'm able to do it. They have made the ultimate sacrifice. So generally I would say that I like to call. I'm going to be calling them — I want a little time to pass — I'm going to be calling them. I have, as you know, since I've been president I have. But in addition I actually wrote letters individually to the soldiers we're talking about and they're going to be going out either today or tomorrow."
