March 28, 2017 – In response to the defamation suit brought against Donald Trump by former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos, Trump’s lawyers invoked the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.

This clause, argued the Trump’s personal legal team, prevented civil lawsuits against the president while he held office.

In another case reminiscent of the Zervos accusations, President Bill Clinton tried to use the Supremacy Clause in 1997 to evade allegations of sexual assault from Paula Jones.

The Supreme Court rejected Clinton’s claim, and the former president was forced to settle the lawsuit out of court.
