Judge Rules Trump Can Be Deposed
June 5, 2018 at 1:26 pm EDT
By Taegan Goddard


A judge ruled that President Trump can be deposed in a defamation lawsuit brought last year by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on “The Apprentice” who says Trump kissed and groped her after she appeared on the show, Politico reports.

“Trump could still avoid a deposition, though. His lawyers have appealed to New York’s highest court in hopes of avoiding it. His legal team has argued that Zervos’ lawsuit is politically motivated.”

depose |dəˈpōz|
verb [ with obj. ]
1 remove from office suddenly and forcefully: he had been deposed by a military coup.

I know this is a legal proceedure but hey one can hope.
