Donald Trump’s lawyers say as president he’s immune against defamation claims

NEW YORK – U.S. President Donald Trump’s lawyers say he’s immune while president from defamation claims brought by a former contestant on his reality TV show The Apprentice.

The lawyers say in a New York state Supreme Court filing Monday they’ll formally ask for dismissal of the January claims by Summer Zervos. They say the Constitution immunizes Trump from being sued in state court while president.

The lawyers say a long line of U.S. Supreme Court cases requires courts to show deference to the president and his schedule.

Trump’s lawyers say he denies “these unfounded accusations” made in a “transparent politically-motivated attack.”

Zervos was a contestant on Trump’s reality show in 2006. She sued after claiming at a news conference Trump made unwanted sexual contact with her at a Beverly Hills hotel in 2007.

There are a number of issues on this matter which can be summarized in the following ...

1. The Constitution or its laws does not grant any immunity to a President.

2. No immunity is given to a President when such acts are committed prior to the election and which are not related to the actions of the President while in office.

3. There are certain protections when a president is in office.

Another distraction by the media and Hillary sore losers.

Perhaps there were also distractions on other presidents in office ... one of the examples can be related to the past President John Kennedy.
