D.C. Briefly
The Trump administration has repatriated a longtime prisoner of the Guantanamo Bay military prison to Saudi Arabia, where he will serve out the remainder of his 13-year sentence in connection to a 2002 attack on a French ship, the Pentagon said. The transfer of Ahmed al-Darbi marks the first time the Trump administration has authorized the departure of an inmate from the facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which President Donald Trump has promised to keep open and said could even house new detainees. The move is unlikely to mark a shift in administration policy regarding prisoner transfers, which Trump has suggested threaten U.S. security.
Summer Zervos, a former "Apprentice" contestant who says Trump sexually assaulted her after she was on the show, is seeking footage from the reality TV show as part of her defamation lawsuit against him. Zervos' lawyer, Mariann Wang, said she issued a subpoena for any "Apprentice" material that features Zervos or Trump talking about her or discussing other female contestants in a sexual or inappropriate way. Wang also subpoenaed records from the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Zervos says Trump made unwelcome advances in 2007.
