Trump, 'Apprentice' contestant at Beverly Hills hotel around the time she says he assaulted her [View all]

Excerpts of Donald Trump’s private calendar from a dozen years ago made public on Thursday appear to show Trump was at a Beverly Hills hotel around the same time a former “Apprentice” contestant alleges he assaulted her there.
Email exchanges from 2007 also released Thursday show that the woman, Summer Zervos, had sought a lunch meeting with Trump in New York around the time she claims he kissed her inappropriately in that city. The calendar records and email correspondence came to light in court filings related to Zervos’s ongoing defamation lawsuit against Trump in New York state court. Zervos is one of about a dozen women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct shortly before the 2016 election, and her case could reach its conclusion before voters return to the polls next year.
Trump has denied accusations of sexual impropriety and said he never even met Zervos at the Beverly Hills Hotel. “To be clear, I never met her at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago,” Trump said after she made her accusation. But Zervos’s lawyer said the documents, and others the Trump Organization has held back from public view, back up her client’s claims. Zervos’s “account of the underlying sexual assaults has now been corroborated, in close detail, by documents produced from (Trump’s) own files,” Zervos’s lawyer Mariann Wang wrote in a memo filed on Thursday.
Trump’s lawyer in the case, Marc Kasowitz, told the Associated Press Thursday that Zervos’s claims are “entirely meritless and not corroborated by any documents.” Trump called Zervos and other women who have made accusations against him “liars,” prompting Zervos to sue him for defamation. The documents released Thursday were made public as part of an agreement between Zervos’s and Trump’s legal teams. The filings include some of the hundreds of documents produced by the Trump Organization in the discovery phase of the lawsuit that the company had deemed confidential.
