Good on Summer. Confession and apology starts the repentance process. Get to it, Donald.

Summer Zervos listens as her attorney Gloria Allred speaks during a news conference announcing the filing of a lawsuit against President-elect Donald Trump in Los Angeles, January 17, 2017.
One of the more than a dozen women who have accused President-elect Donald Trump of sexual misconduct filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming that Trump defamed her when he branded her allegations a lie.
The legal action in New York by former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos — who claims Trump groped her in a Beverly Hills, California, hotel room in 2007 — came three days before Trump is scheduled to be inaugurated as president.
Zervos, who is represented by high-profile plaintiff lawyer and Trump antagonist Gloria Allred, first went public with her allegations against Trump last October after an audio-tape emerged of him bragging to then-"Access Hollywood" reporter Billy Bush about being sexually aggressive toward women.
In response, Trump denied Zervos' claims, said she and other women who made similar allegations against him were "liars" and threatened to sue them.
In November, Zervos called on Trump to retract his threat and his claim that she was lying.
