President Trump has agreed to turn over his calendars and journal entries from November 2007 to February 2008 as part of a defamation lawsuit from a former “Apprentice” contestant who has accused him of sexual misconduct.

The Washington Post reported that a court order in New York requires the Trump Organization to turn over the president’s calendars, and to meet with lawyers for Summer Zervos to discuss “the production of [Trump’s] phone records.” 

Attorneys for two sides are set to speak with the court via telephone conference next week, the Post reported.

{mosads}The time frame set out in the court order includes December 2007, which is when Zervos alleges Trump forcibly kissed and groped her at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.

Zervos filed the defamation lawsuit against Trump shortly before his inauguration, saying he defamed her by publicly saying she fabricated her claims. She was one of more than a dozen women who came forward during the 2016 campaign to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct.

The president has denied the claims, and said the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct are all “liars.”

New York Supreme Court Justice Jennifer G. Schecter ruled late last week that while Trump must provide evidence related to Zervos’s claims, he does not have to produce documents related to allegations from other women, according to the Post.

Zervos’s attorneys have sought to depose Trump in the case, while the president’s legal team has tried unsuccessfully on multiple occasions to have the case dismissed.
