in #prthom7 years ago

Donald Trump's campaign has been subpoenaed as part of a defamation suit forsexual assault allegations that emerged during his run for president, according to a court document.

The lawsuit by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on Trump's reality TV show "The Apprentice," says he made "numerous false, defamatory statements" in response to her allegations that he tried to kiss and grope her without her consent.

The subpoena, which was issued in March but filed September 19, directs the Trump campaign and its affiliates to hand over documents on Zervos and her associates as well as on "any woman alleging that Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately."

It also seeks documents on "any accusations" made during Trump's election campaign that he "subjected any woman to unwanted sexual touching and/or sexually inappropriate behavior," and on the president's responses to allegations against him.

The subpoena, which previously not been made public, was first reported by BuzzFeed News.
