Exhausting Court Proceedings on the Horizon

[ClydeR]

But if Trump were to win, the number of unresolved cases is unprecedented for a presidential candidate, according to political scientists and historians.

Trump faces significant open litigation tied to his businesses: angry members at his Jupiter, Fla. golf course say they were cheated out of refunds on their dues and a former employee at the same club claims she was fired after reporting sexual harassment. There’s a fraud case brought by Trump University students who say the mogul’s company ripped them off for tens of thousands in tuition for a sham real estate course.

Trump is also defending lawsuits tied to his campaign. A disgruntled GOP political consultant sued for $4 million saying Trump defamed her. Another suit, a class action, says the campaign violated consumer protection laws by sending unsolicited text messages.

If elected, the open lawsuits will tag along with Trump. He would not be entitled to immunity, and could be required to give depositions or even testify in open court. That could chew up time and expose a litany of uncomfortable private and business dealings to the public.

One Trump case, over non-payment of tips to caterers at Trump SoHo Hotel in New York City, is scheduled to go to trial a week before Election Day.

Even in the waning days of the campaign, in a speech Saturday in Gettysburg outlining his first actions if he wins the White House, Trump threatened to sue all of the women who’ve accused him of unwanted sexual advances, saying all of them are lying.

Trump's election will make these cases even harder for him to settle.



There's another big problem that you will only hear about from me.. Remember that time Bill Cosby was accused of sexually assaulting some women and he said he didn't do it? It was too late for the women to sue him for sexual assault, but when he said he didn't do it, they sued him for defamation, claiming that his denial amounted to defamation of their character. Cosby's accusers have not had much luck suing for defamation so far. Here's a summary of how one court ruled..

In the ruling Thursday, Schwab found no grounds for defamation, writing that the multiple claims were "pure opinion" and a "far cry from labeling [Hill] (and the other women who have made similar public assertions) as liars or extortionists."

Trump has been far more direct than Cosby was in addressing his accusers..

Gloria Alred must be giddy. If she can get these clients, then she will be the center of all of the entire world's media attention.

You all know that I hate saying I told you so, but sometimes you just have to..

LOS ANGELES— A former contestant on “The Apprentice” who previously accused Donald Trump of making unwelcome sexual advances toward her, kissing her on the lips and groping her in a Beverly Hills hotel filed a defamation lawsuit Tuesday against the president-elect over his denials of her allegations, CBS Los Angeles reported.

Summer Zervos announced the lawsuit at a Los Angeles news conference with her attorney, Gloria Allred, who represents multiple women who have made allegations of sexual misconduct by Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump has vehemently denied the allegations, and he specifically rebuffed Zervos’ accusations.

There have been a few developments in the Zervos case.

So that's why Trump wanted to become president! To avoid this lawsuit! The man really is a genius.

So that's why Trump wanted to become president! To avoid this lawsuit! The man really is a genius.

A New York State judge ruled on Tuesday that a defamation lawsuit brought by a woman who has said President Trump made unwanted sexual advances could go forward, raising the possibility of a public airing of other allegations of sexual misconduct against the president.

To avoid a lot of hassle -- and not as an admission of any wrongdoing -- Trump should pay her off and make her sign a nondisclosure agreement.

Trump don't settle. He fights every lawsuit. I know this because he said so.

A judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump can be deposed in a defamation lawsuit brought last year by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on "The Apprentice” who says Trump kissed and groped her after she appeared on the show.

Hey didn't that judge get the memo that Trump is above the law?? Trump could literally rape Sarah Sanders in the Oval Office then smash her head in with a hammer and the law couldn't touch him.

More importantly, Pence could shoot trump in the Oval office, immediately assume the presidency, and dismiss any investigations into the shooting and pardon himself for it just for fun. Being POTUS is like having a superpower. You're no longer capable of breaking the law because the Law is the King and the King is Law.
