The Trump campaign released an email from former The Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, showing that she hoped to 'reconnect' with the presidential candidate in April 2016, years after her alleged sexual assault.
Zervos held a press conference on Friday with her attorney, claiming that Trump kissed her on the lips, touched her breast and 'thrust his genitals' at her when she met to discuss business opportunities in 2007.
But her cousin John Barry of Mission Viejo, California, accused Zervos of seeking attention at Trump's expense with the allegations, writing she 'had nothing but glowing things to say about [him]' for nearly a decade.
Barry claimed a motive for Zervos' actions, saying she turned on the business tycoon after he snubbed the email from her, dated April 14, 2016.

Hello,
I'm certain you are a very busy woman. I am in a unique situation being that I am the only former Apprentice who operates a business where Mr Trump's supporters can walk in, express their admiration for him and inquire about my experience. Mr Trump has a great deal of support in Huntington Beach, Ca! He has witnessed both my highs and lows operating a small business and I am pleased to report that business is good. Sunny's Restaurant has a long history of making people feel special. We hire a diverse crew and embrace anyone who is honest while working hard. Mr Trump is cut from the same cloth.
I would greatly appreciate reconnecting at this time. He will know my intentions are genuine.
Thank you,
Summer Zervos
