POTUS Donnie believes because he is the leader of the free world that he is immune any lawsuit, especially sexual harassment… Just like POTUS Billy Clinton thought the same when Paula Jones was slapping him with a lawsuit that ended up going to the Supreme Court, too which they decided “nope you ain’t above anything” – PB/TK
Trump Lawyers Claim Immunity In Sex Harassment Suit, Just As Bill Clinton Did – Peter Overby March 28 2017
The Constitution and the Supreme Court both say a president is largely immune from civil lawsuits. The chief executive does critical work leading the nation, the logic goes, and shouldn’t be bedeviled by ordinary civil lawsuits.
That’s the argument that President Bill Clinton used almost exactly 20 years ago, when he tried but failed to stop the sexual harassment suit brought by Paula Jones. Now it’s being made by lawyers for President Trump, against a sexual harassment suit brought by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on Trump’s TV show The Apprentice.
Zervos alleges that Trump kissed her and engaged in “disgusting touching” in 2007. She accused him publicly during the presidential campaign last fall; he counterattacked on Twitter. Her lawsuit landed a few days before he was inaugurated in January.
The Trump legal team — private lawyers, not government employees — now says in a court filing that the immunity question should be settled immediately. This approach could let them avoid wrangling over the allegations made by Zervos.
