A onetime contestant on Donald Trump's "The Apprentice" television show who accused him of groping her is demanding in her lawsuit that he come clean about accusations by other women of "illicit" sexual misconduct.
Summer Zervos is seeking damages from Trump on the grounds that he defamed her when he dismissed her account as untruthful. If Trump has deliberately made false statements about other accusers, it would undercut his ability to defend himself by arguing that he just has a bad memory, Zervos said in a filing Tuesday in New York state court.
Like President Bill Clinton before him, Trump could face legal peril if he must testify about his sexual history in the suit filed by Zervos and another by Stephanie Clifford, the adult film actress known as Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had consensual sex with Trump in 2006 and was physically threatened in 2011 to stay silent.
