NEW YORK - U.S. President Donald Trump's lawyers are asking a New York state appeals court to throw out or freeze a defamation lawsuit by a former contestant on "The Apprentice" who has accused Trump of unwanted kissing and groping.
Notice of the appeal was filed Sunday.
Trump's lawyers are challenging a Manhattan judge's refusal last month to halt the lawsuit by former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos.
Trump's lawyers want the appeals court to put the case on hold during his presidency.
