Green light for ‘Apprentice’ smear suit

- Victoria Bekiempis

A ONE-TIME “Apprentice” contestant’s defamation case against President Trump can move forward, a New York State appeals court decided Thursday.

President Trump in April filed paperwork in Manhattan Supreme Court maintainin­g that the Constituti­on protects him from a lawsuit brought by Summer Zervos, who claims Trump made sexual advances on her. unwanted

After the court ruled against him, he asked the state Appellate Division to stay the case until deciding on his immunity claim — but the appeals court shot down his request.

The “motion is denied,” the Appellate Division said in a foursenten­ce ruling.
