President Trump ​claims the former “Apprentice” contestant ​who accused him of molesting her in a hotel room years ago was “politically motivated” to make the accusation and, therefore, he was exercising his “right to defend himself” when he called her a “liar.”

In a new Manhattan court filing seeking to have Summer Zervos’ defamation lawsuit tossed, ​Trump says ​​ Zervos “inserted herself into a political debate” by making “false accusations at … the height of a presidential campaign.”

He simply “exercised his First Amendment right to defend himself,” claims Trump’s attorney, Marc Kasowitz, in a new court filing.

Kasowitz is asking a judge to toss the case.

Zervos’ feminist firebrand attorney Gloria Allred has countered that “no man is above the law and that includes the president of the United States.”​

In October 2016​,​ Zervos, who was a contestant on Season 5 of “The Apprentice,” announced at a press conference that Trump kissed her several times and tried to force himself on her at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2007.

“​President Trump’s reply brief appears to be a rehash of arguments that he has already made,” claims Allred, who said she looks forward to any questions the court may have being posed in an upcoming hearing.
