LOS ANGELES: President-elect Donald Trump was hit with a defamation lawsuit on Tuesday by a former contestant on his reality television show “The Apprentice” who had previously accused him of sexual misconduct. Trump has “debased and denigrated Zervos with false statements about her,” the lawsuit says. “All of these liars will be sued after the election is over,” Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania in October. Trump moved toward her aggressively during the encounter and touched her on the breast but she rebuffed him, she alleged. Zervos and several other women who made similar allegations came forward after a 2005 videotape of Trump bragging about groping women surfaced during in early October.
