Trump forced to answer questions under oath in Summer Zervos defamation case

[phands]

Which implies Mueller can also subpoena....

President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath in a defamation lawsuit brought by former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos, reports the Washington Post.


According to the report, attorneys for Trump and Zervos reached an agreement on Friday that would compel the president to exchange “written answers and objections” to formal written questions by Sept. 28.




The lawsuit was filed in New York where the law states that the answers must be sworn to or verified, leading Trump to risk perjury charges should he answer falsely.


Zervos sued Trump for defamation in early 2017 after he called her a liar when she claimed he groped her ten years earlier.

Yeah. It's rawstory. They rarely have actual stories.

I didn't even click as the conclusion does not flow from the quote.

Your quote says the two parties agreed to an exchange. That isn't a ruling by the court. Nor would a ruling by that judge mean much of anything to an appeal of a subpoena issued by Mueller in another proceeding.

This story doesn't "imply" anything about a Mueller subpoena.
