Trump University Lawsuit Advances As Judge Curiel Deals Blow To Donald
Trump University Lawsuit Advances As Judge Curiel Deals Blow To Donald
The fraud allegations and Trump’s racist attacks on the judge have been significant blemishes on Trump’s campaign.

A U.S. judge on Tuesday rejected Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s pretrial bid to win a lawsuit brought by Trump University students who said they were defrauded into signing up for its real-estate seminars.
U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel said in a written ruling that there was a “genuine issue of material fact” as to whether Trump knowingly participated in a scheme to defraud the students.
Curiel said there was extensive evidence Trump had not personally met, interviewed or selected Trump University instructors, though he represented they had been handpicked.
In a July 22 hearing, Curiel tentatively denied the bid by Trump to dismiss the lawsuit in California, one of three over the defunct Trump University venture.
