Los Angeles based attorney Gloria Allred held a press conference on Tuesday during which she announced that former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos filed a defamation lawsuit against President-elect Donald Trump, accusing him of lying about touching her in a sexually inappropriate way.

Allred also suggested she may attempt to subpoena copies of unaired, unedited outtakes from the Apprentice show. There has been quite a bit of media speculation about what conversations may have been captured, in light of the Access Hollywood tapes that included Trump making lewd remarks.

The lawsuit was filed in New York on Tuesday morning. Zervos offered to dismiss the lawsuit without any compensation if Trump is willing to admit she was telling the truth about her claims.

Summer Zervos, a contestant on The Apprentice, has appeared at a press conference with her lawyer to announce legal action against President-elect Donald Trump for defamation.

Zervos was a contestant on Trump's reality show The Apprentice in 2006. She said at a news conference on October 14 in Las Vegas that Trump tried to get her to lie down on a bed with him when she met him in 2007 to discuss a possible job.

Zervos said she complied with a request to sit next to Trump, and, "He then grabbed my shoulder and began kissing me very aggressively and placed his hand on my breast."

"If you want to build cars in the world, then I wish you all the best. You can build cars for the United States, but for every car that comes to the USA, you will pay 35 percent tax," Trump said in remarks translated into German.

"I would tell BMW that if you are building a factory in Mexico and plan to sell cars to the USA, without a 35 percent tax, then you can forget that," Trump said.

Trump better be careful here. Taxing BMW and Mercedes might actually affect something his rich cronies care about.

“It’s made up. Never existed. Never happened,” Trump continued, speaking specifically about the unverified report regarding the prostitutes. “And the reason I say that so strongly because nothing is ever going to show up. There’s never going to be a tape that shows up. There’s never going to be anything that shows up. Now, I would be very embarrassed if a tape actually showed up, saying something like that. It would be double embarrassed because I’m saying there is no tape. There is no event. I was never even in that room for that period of time.”

Was a date (or year?) ever provided? Or was there just speculation that it might have been during the Miss Universe pageant in 2013? Regardless, the second part of the quote really has me puzzled. It's like he's saying he doesn't believe there's a recording of what happened, and if one appears, boy will he be red-faced. But it didn't happen, so there's nothing to worry about. It just sounds like...a very weird denial.

I'm pretty much surrounded by pro-Trumpers who by and large believe I'm also pro-Trump since A) I've always been a conservative as long as they've known me and B) I have kept my mouth shut this election.

However, I'm sure they're all going to be trying to watch it at work and discussing it (loudly) and wondering why I'm not sporting a humongous boner because Trump is President.

If need be you can always claim asylum in Massachusetts.
