Trump in Washington for deposition in lawsuit against celebrity chef

Republican Donald Trump spent about two hours at a Washington law firm on Thursday for a deposition in his lawsuit against celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian, who withdrew last year from a deal to open a restaurant at Trump's new hotel after the candidate made disparaging comments about Mexican immigrants.

Roughly 60 protesters from the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights group, and the immigration organization United We Dream waited for the presumptive Republican nominee outside the law firm Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, chanting "love conquers hate" and "no more hate" in both English and Spanish.

Protesters also gathered in nearby buildings, with rainbow flags symbolizing gay pride and multi-colored balloons spelling out the word "pride" hanging in the windows.

Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for Trump, and Deborah Baum of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, lead counsel for Zakarian, both declined to comment on the deposition. Rebecca Woods of the law firm Seyfarth Shaw, who is representing Trump, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump is quite the fighter. He just might sue every citizen in the country when he loses the November election.

But in the long run the chef paying trump may be better off to just get away from him.
