Trump could be forced to testify on sexual-harassment allegations. If he lies he could be impeached

Summer Zervos, who accused Trump of sexually harassing her in 2007, is suing him for defamation because he called her and other accusers liars.

Trump's lawyers will argue in a New York court on Tuesday that the lawsuit should be thrown out because he is a sitting president.

But former President Bill Clinton was deposed while he was a sitting president over allegations of sexual harassment by Paula Jones. Later, when he was found to have lied under oath, he was impeached by the House of Representatives.

"People are going to find out who this guy really is," Mindy McGillivray, one of Trump's accusers, told Business Insider.

Because you know they won't impeach him unless there is a self serving reason to do so. We know that a bunch of democrats or talking heads saying they will get "killed" in 2018 means nothing to them.
