Noted in “Judge: Trump Must Face Summer Zervos Defamation Lawsuit,” Daily Beast:

Justice Schecter subsequently denied Trump’s “motion to dismiss this case or hold it in abeyance.” This comes as Zervos, who accused Trump last year of sexually harassing her in 2007, sued the president for defamation after he suggested she made up the allegations for “ten minutes of fame.”
