New York's attorney general who filed a fraud law suit against Trump University that was ready to go to trial, said 11/l8 the suit was settled out of court for $25 million in favor of the accusers. The issue came up during the campaign and Trump not only denied the charges but also criticized the judge who ruled the suit could go to trial. Trump also made racial remarks about the judge.
Despite saying he would not settle the law suite out of court, this is one he settled. Trump knew going to trial and having testimony under oath would be damaging to him and would cost a lot more money. Plus, when settled out of court, the person being sued does not have to admit guilt. However, fair minded people know the fraud suit and the settlement speak for itself.
A few weeks ago a well known attorney appeared on MSNBC and said he was representing a woman free of charge who alleges that Trump sexually assaulted her and would file suit and that there were others who will do the same. If that comes about it will be interested to see how Trump reacts. Trump actually said he would sue his accusers after the campaign was over. Well; its over and no suit has been reported.
New York's attorney general, Eric Schneiderman in a Huffington Post commentary of 11/18 said the following about the fraud law suit: "MY OFFICE SUED DONALD TRUMP FOR SWINDLING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT AMERICANS OUT OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THROUGH A SCHEME KNOWN AS TRUMP UNIVERSITY AND SAID DONALD TRUMP FOUGHT US EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AND HE CALLED THE UNIVERSITY PHONY' What a statement from the attorney general who had all the evidence and facts. The facts in the suit and the settlement indicate that Donald Trump was indeed the crooked candidate in the Presidential campaign. Can one become any more deplorable than that?
This generation will witness a "tainted" President elect when he enters the White House. What a shame for America, our children, our grandchildren and for American history.
