President Donald Trump has won two major lawsuits.
It’s “totally vindicating,” Trump said about the pair of courtroom victories.
A former contestant for “The Apprentice” named Summer Zervos launched a lawsuit in 2017 that claimed Trump was guilty of sexual assault.
Zervos suddenly withdrew the lawsuit without any exchange of compensation or attorneys’ fees. Zervos refused to elaborate on why she ended her lawsuit.
Trump has asked the court for permission to countersue over these “lies.”
Trump attorney Alina Habba explained, “She had no choice but to do so as the facts unearthed in this matter made it abundantly clear that our client did nothing wrong.”
“Ms. Zervos made the prudent decision to voluntarily drop her case without the exchange of any compensation or attorneys’ fees,” Trump’s lawyer confirmed.
Zervos accused Trump of unwanted kissing and groping in 2005 as well as damaging her reputation by referring to such allegations as “lies.”
Her attorney released a statement that read, “Ms. Zervos no longer wishes to litigate against the defendant and has secured the right to speak freely about her experience.” Her attorneys say that she nonetheless “stands by the allegations in her complaint.”
In a separate ruling, a judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by Trump’s notorious former lawyer Michael Cohen against the Trump Organization.
Cohen was seeking nearly $4 million to cover legal costs incurred by the work he previously did for the company as well as his own legal trouble in the early days of the Trump administration.
The judge ruled that the Trump Organization is not responsible for Cohen’s fees.
The judge ruled, “In a nutshell, Mr. Cohen’s legal fees arise out of his (sometimes unlawful) service to Mr. Trump personally, to Mr. Trump’s campaign and to the Trump Foundation, but not out of his service to the business of the Trump Organization.”

The former president himself said that it was “so sad when things like this can happen, but so incredibly important to fight for the truth and justice.”

While President Trump is admittedly far from what you might call a gentleman, it’s worthy of note that so far, none of the allegations of flat-out sexual assault or misconduct have ever stuck, just as the plethora of oftentimes wild conspiracy theories levied against him routinely fall flat.
This hasn’t stopped his opponents from constantly seeking the next silver bullet to take him down, as we saw through the whole of his presidency.
Trump, meanwhile, absolutely refuses to be taken down, which in large part embodies his appeal to an American populace that has for far too long been scolded and browbeaten by ideologues on the left who accuse them of heinous sins against their fellow man simply for loving their country, sticking to biblical values and resisting the radical social upheaval from the progressive left.
The left has often characterized Trump as merely a “symptom” of our supposedly wicked, unredeemable racist and bigoted national heritage, but by so doing, they’ve smeared millions of perfectly decent, moral Americans who believe in genuine equality along with him.
