“Former President Donald Trump avoided having to sit for a deposition in a defamation lawsuit after former ‘Apprentice’ contestant Summer Zervos agreed to drop her claims, according to a court filing. Zervos had sued Trump in 2017 after he denied allegations that he sexually assaulted her. A judge had recently ordered Trump to sit for a deposition in the case by December 23. Zervos’ attorneys said in a statement, ‘Today the parties have ended Zervos v. Trump. After five years, Ms. Zervos no longer wishes to litigate against the defendant and has secured the right to speak freely about her experience. Ms. Zervos stands by the allegations in her complaint and has accepted no compensation.’ No additional details were available about the agreement or why Zervos decided to drop the lawsuit” – CNN.
