Summer Zervos, a former contestant on “The Apprentice” who accused President Trump of sexual assault, is seeking records to prove that he defamed her by calling her a liar.

A lawyer for Ms. Zervos, who is suing Mr. Trump for defamation in New York, said on Wednesday that subpoenas had been issued both to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which owns archives of the reality show, and to the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Ms. Zervos says he groped her in 2007.

“We’re gathering evidence that we believe will prove that the defendant lied when he falsely denigrated Ms. Zervos and when he denied sexually assaulting her,” said the lawyer, Mariann Wang of Cuti Hecker Wang.

Ms. Zervos, a Republican, was among the more than 10 women who came forward during the 2016 presidential campaign to accuse Mr. Trump of inappropriate sexual contact. He denied all of their claims.

[not fooled]

6. I hope that sooner or later ALL the tapes

come out, the ones that people like Tom Arnold have been hinting about for a long time. Filled with racist, profanity-laden rants, apparently.

10. The Trumpies will call it fake, but we know better

We know he's been saying that horrible sexist, racist crap for most of his life. We know that it was all taped and edited out of the Apprentice show because Cheeto couldn't follow a script. He just made stuff up as he went along. The producers have it all on tape.

11. Yep! Those Out-Takes Will Be Devastating!

8. Yay!

9. I would love to see them argue that motion for protection hearing

As my favorite Judge used to say, yes, this could be no more than a fishing expedition, but what if this subpoena might actually catch a fish?

There is no privilege at play here. What grounds does Trump have to avoid this discovery?

[raven mad]

12. Eventually a really savvy lawyer

is going to round up all the victims and file a class-action suit....

13. There might be a tape of him grabbing her boobs. Wouldn't that be something?

How on earth would the Trump cult defend him then?
