Trump called woman who says he sexually assaulted her, phone records show
More than a decade ago, Donald Trump made phone calls from his cellphone to a former candidate on "The Apprentice" around the same time that she says he sexually assaulted her, according to phone records made public Tuesday.
The excerpts from Trump's Verizon cellphone bills over a three-month period in 2007 and 2008 show that Trump exchanged calls with Summer Zervos on at least six occasions, including on a day that Trump's private calendar has shown that he was staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel. That hotel stay is a key part of Zervos's defamation lawsuit against Trump in New York Supreme Court. Zervos says that Trump forced himself on her with unwanted kissing and groping while she visited him for lunch in his hotel room.
The phone records "corroborate [Zervos's] account of the sexual assaults with even more granularity and with a degree of precision that [Zervos] could not have known were she not telling the truth about those interactions when she spoke publicly about them before this case was filed," her lawyer, Mariann Wang, said in a court filing. Zervos's legal team released the records Tuesday.
Trump's lawyer in the case, Marc Kasowitz, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. After portions of Trump's private calendars and email correspondence between Zervos and Trump's secretary were made public last month, Kasowitz told The Associated Press that Zervos's claims were "entirely meritless and not corroborated by any documents."
