Benjamin Zipursky was quoted in a Village Voice article about Summer Zervos’s defamation lawsuit against President Trump.
Benjamin Zipursky, a legal scholar and professor at Fordham University School of Law, argues that the prospect of impeachment hearings is irrelevant to Zervos’s case. The thought of the case going forward and Trump being forced to produce documents and submit to depositions “is for many people the most interesting part,” he told the Voice. “But that’s not, it seems to me, the key question. The key question is: Is that all they’re interested in, or is this woman really seeking redress for having been publicly called, over and over and over again, a liar and a fabricator and somebody who’s just seeking the limelight? Is that something she’s serious about, wanting to get redress for that? I see no reason to doubt that she’s serious about that.”
