Trump accuser drops her lawsuit for defamation

Summer Zervos is a former contestant on "The Apprentice" and was suing former President Donald Trump for defamation on Friday.  

She dropped her defamation lawsuit  that was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court that said the case was dismissed and discontinued without prejudice. This means that she cannot file the same claim in the future in state court.

The case had been in litigation for four years and the ruling now is that both parties are responsible for their own costs.

Zervos had accused Trump of groping and kissing her against her will in 2007 in a hotel in Beverly Hills while she was a contestant on his show. The accusation came nine years after the alleged incident, coincidentally right in time for Trump's 2016 presidential election campaign. 

Zervos sued the then-president in 2017, saying that he had defamed her when he publicly called her a “liar” and said her accusations were “totally made up stuff” and “fake news.” Actually, it seems like Trump was being kind to her by simply calling her a liar--she seems to be more of a political whore.

Her attorneys, Beth Wilkinson and Moira Penza, said that “after five years, Ms. Zervos no longer wishes to litigate against the defendant and has secured the right to speak freely about her experience.”

She'll probably go for a book deal because that's what political whores do when they want to get paid for their allegations. Look at Andrew Cuomo, for example.

“Zervos stands by the allegations in her complaint and has accepted no compensation,” they said in a statement. 

Until her book deal.

Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, said in a statement that Zervos ". . . had no choice but to do so as the facts unearthed in this matter made it abundantly clear that our client did nothing wrong,”

“It is so sad when things like this can happen, but so incredibly important to fight for the truth and justice. Only victory can restore one’s reputation!” Trump said in his own statement.

But will Trump run again in 2024?

Omarosa now Michael Cohen's "personal adviser"

Michael Cohen is serving three bucks in the slammer for campaign finance violations, fraud and he has lied like an Iranian rug. His prison nickname is "Pantsonfire." Cohen has sunk so low he could play handball off a street curb and has now made the former "Apprentice" semi star and Trump administration something or other, Omarosa Manigault Newman [no relation to Alfred E.] his self-help guru.

That's like making Robert "Beto" O'Rourke your firearms expert for SEAL Team Six.

An anonymous source [naturally] told "Page Six" that Omarosa was seen visiting Cohen this summer at the Otisville Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville, New York, which is how it got its name.

Pantsonfire, 53, was the former lawyer for President Trump and has been in federal lockup since May. By the way, he cried like a guy with Fuch's Dystrophy on his way to the Big House.

During Omarosa's visit, the couple discussed their mutual animosity for their former boss, both of whom were canned by him for their incompetence or unacceptable behavior. The source said Newman is  “helping him get through this since they share a common disdain for the president.”

It isn't known when Newman, 45, actually visited the "I would take a bullet for President Trump" cell warrior, but the source said it was sometime around late June since only family members were allowed immediate visits.

“It takes time for visitors [who aren’t relatives] to be approved,” the anonymous source added.

Omarosa wore "dress-up casual" clothing which elicited loud cat calling from the other guests of the state, some of whom hadn't seen a woman in person for a long time. Her visit "created a buzz within the facility" and security was increased, said the source.

“One of the first days that Michael Cohen was at Otisville, the whole entire prison was on lockdown for a few hours because of a drone that was flying over the grounds taking photos,” the source added.

But Cohen has been laying low and "stays busy playing tennis and just biding his time," the source said. It's unclear if he also has the opportunity to play golf, fish and go water skiing.

In an MSNBC [aka MSDNC] interview in August 2018, Omarosa said she knew Cohen for over a decade since he worked closely with Trump when he was hosting "The Apprentice" and she was a first season contestant in 2004.

There is no evidence that Omarosa and Michael Cohen were involved in a sexual relationship at that time and are now trying to rekindle the flame, but there's no proof they weren't. [See how easy that is?]

Omarosa was fired by Trump in December 2017 and allegedly had to be “physically dragged” out of the building. She has promised to never vote for Trump in a presidential election again, even if he runs for a third, fourth of fifth term.

Black folks skeptical over Omarosa's verbiage against Trump

You can't swing a dead puffin without hitting a newspaper or magazine that doesn't have at least one piece about Omarosa Manigault Newman. She's the former "Apprentice" villain who was fired three times by Trump and was rehired by him four times--the last being after he became President.

According to the left-leaning Associated Press, black folks just don't buy into Omarosa's claim that President Trump used the bad word for "Negro" or the "N" word as it is often called. And if the AP is making this claim, you just might know it's true.

The AP says the fact that Newman stayed with Trump for over ten years makes her "deeply unpopular with African-Americans who see her as a sellout for aligning herself with a president who has hurled one insult after another at black people."

Her falling out with Trump and her decision to call him a racist as she sells her new book--and in turn, his calling her a "dog"--have not been enough for many African-Americans to invite her back to the family picnic.

Too little, too late, many said.

"Her tell-all mea culpa won't win her any brownie points with most blacks," said Earl Ofari Hutchinson, author of the book 'Why Black Lives Do Matter.' "Their loathing of Omarosa is virtually frozen in stone. She's still roundly lambasted as a two-bit opportunist, a racial sellout and an ego driven hustler."

Few in the black community immediately rushed to defend Manigault Newman after she wrote a book entitled "Unhinged" about her time in the White House. It paints a damning picture of Trump, claiming without evidence that tapes exist of him using the N-word as he filmed "The Apprentice" reality series, on which she co-starred.

She has since stepped up her attacks on Trump as she promotes her book, telling The Associated Press on Tuesday that the president is "a racist, a misogynist, a bigot."

"I want to see this nation united as opposed to divided," she said. "I don't want to see a race war, as Donald Trump does."

The only war the future may hold involving race, is the race between black unemployed folks to fill out a job application faster than their competition. There has been an increase of 700,000 jobs for blacks alone since Trump took office. This is about three times as many jobs than Obama created in his entire presidency. This is now the lowest black unemployment in American history.

Puffin swinging

The Boston Herald wrote that Trump is "making life better for black Americans everywhere you look while his predecessor fumbled."

Community organizers don't "fumble," they bs.

According to Rasmussen, black support for Trump has risen to 31 percent. That's up by 13 percentage points since last year.

Omarosa needs to get together with Maxine Waters and take to the streets. There she can hawk her novel.

Omarosa grounded from White House

Omarosa Manigault has been put on Santa Kelly's 'Naughty List' and now has limited access to former "Apprentice" star and current President of the United States, Donald Trump.

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, a former U.S. Marine Corps general, is trying to bring discipline to an apparent chaotic West Wing. He put Omarosa on a "no-fly list" that he keeps on White House aides he sees as unfit to attend serious meetings, The New York Times reported.

Her name is the most prominent on the list, which describes her as a former "Apprentice" star with an ill-defined job in the White House. 

Can you imagine, John Kelly has the gall to limit the number of people attending Trump's meetings just because their jobs don't require they attend.

According to the Gray Lady, Omarosa's habit of stepping into meetings to which she wasn't invited is what got her on the no-fly list, and the person who then must enforce the ban is Kirstjen Nielsen.

Nielsen's appointment was announced at a staff meeting Wednesday as part of Kelly's effort to enhance a more disciplined environment and perhaps put a finger in the proverbial dyke, to stop the leaks that have been flowing out.

But The Times said Kelly's new move has angered people who already hate him and now they may be plotting and complaining to the press.

It sounds as if they need a safe space . . . poor dears.

More Trump accusers from years gone by

It has become a media circus with the Donald Trump sexual misconduct accusers. Soon, even Jill Stein might think about jumping on the "Trump Touched Me" bandwagon in order to gin up sympathy and perhaps three more votes in her bid for the White House.

Two more women accused Trump of sexual assault Friday. However, a relative of one of the women said that the allegation was "an attempt to regain the spotlight." 

No, it isn't Monica Lewinsky.

Summer Zervos, a former contestant on "The Apprentice" said Trump groped her and kissed her after a meeting at a Beverly Hills hotel in 2007 to discuss a job. She spoke at a press conference with her "Lawyer of the Stars" Gloria Allred and said that after the groping and kissing she was offered a lower-paying job at one of Trump's golf courses.

"You do not have the right to treat women as sexual objects just because you are a star," Zervos said, directing her verbiage at Trump [rather than Bill Clinton] as an old fashioned cash register went "Cahching" in Allred's head. 

On Friday, the Trump campaign released a statement purported to be from John Barry, a cousin of Zervos, in which he said he was "shocked and bewildered" by her account.

Barry said in the statement that Zervos spoke highly of Trump until he refused an invitation to visit her restaurant during the primary campaign. "I think Summer wishes she could still be on reality TV, and in an effort to get that back she's saying all of these negative things about Mr. Trump. That's not how she talked about him before."

Trump's wife, Melania, said that Zervos was a "narcissistic loony toon" oh wait--that was Hillary describing Monica Lewinsky after her husband had sex with her when she was his 21-year-old intern.

My mistake.

Trump issued a statement saying he "never met [Zervos] at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago. That is not who I am as a person, and it is not how I've conducted my life." He also said that she emailed him in April asking if he could visit her restaurant in California.

Allred said that Zervos is not filing suit at this time, but has said that "many more women" have contacted her about Donald Trump.

Cahching.

Trump is claiming all of the controversy was "a total setup" made up of "lies spread by the media" to undermine his campaign. 

That may be true, and it probably is to some extent, but Trump isn't helping himself by making fun of her saying: "The only way they can figure they can slow it down is to come up with people that are willing to say 'Oh I was with Donald Trump in 1980,'" in a voice mocking his accusers. "I was sitting with him on an airplane and he went after me on the plane.' Yeah, I'm gonna go after you . . . "

"Believe me, she would not be my first choice, I can tell you," he concluded.

Mocking her appearance is not going to win Trump any major votes with women. But that isn't why he said it. For Trump, it's more important to defend his masculinity and ego than it is to be prudent and strategic in this election. 

He acts as if his base can vote twice for him. That's only true for Democrats.

Speaking of strategy, all of this scandalous garbage has taken the focus off Hillary Clinton's WikiLeaks document dump.

This is what Trump needs to be focused on, not his ego needs.
