A former reality-TV star who claims Donald Trump sexually assaulted her at a private dinner meeting more than a decade ago said newly unsealed phone records disclosed as part of her defamation lawsuit against the president corroborate elements of her story.
Summer Zervos, a former contestant on Trump's "Apprentice" television show, sued the president the month he took office, after he called her a liar and denied her allegation that he kissed her inappropriately in his Trump Tower office and later assaulted her in his bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
On Tuesday, a lawyer for Zervos sent the unsealed and unredacted records in an email, saying they back her claim of an encounter with Trump in December 2007. The Trump Organization last week agreed to give Zervos internal phone records it had initially claimed were confidential.
