President Trump may not be willing to answer questions about obstruction of justice for Special Counsel Robert Mueller, but he'll answer questions about Summer Zervos.
Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice, is suing Trump for defamation; she has accused Trump of sexual assault and says he defamed her when he called her a liar. On Friday, Law & Crime reports, attorneys for both Trump and Zervos agreed to provide written answers under oath to move the case forward.

Both sides will appear in court again next month to discuss evidence. Read more at Law & Crime.
