Judge delays Trump University trial

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appears to have escaped the possibility of an awkward federal class-action trial over his Trump University real estate program taking place just as his campaign for the White House shifts into high gear.

At a hearing in San Diego on Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel set the trial in the lawsuit to begin Nov. 28, with jury selection to begin a few weeks earlier, local press reports said.

Lawyers for plaintiffs claiming they were defrauded by the Trump University program had asked Curiel to set the trial in July or August.

Curiel, an appointee of President Barack Obama, turned heads by announcing last month that the court would hold a hearing about the suit on the first day of the GOP convention, set to open July 18 in Cleveland. The court session was to involve arguments on motions by Trump's lawyers to essentially throw out the case.

Curiel announced Friday that he'll hold the hearing instead on July 22, the day after Trump is expected to accept the Republican Party's presidential nomination.

The federal case now set for trial in November involves only people who purchased Trump University programs in Florida, New York or California, which have strict false advertising laws. The case scheduled for a hearing in July involves Trump University participants in the rest of the country.

2. why is the trial so far away?

4. I don't know.

Remember when it was made public that * was a drunk and a coke head? Just a few days before the election and there was not enough time for most people to wrap their heads around those facts. Seems like that same strategy.

5. I'm sure Republicans will delay their fishing trip against Clinton too?

Or does American justice only work in the favor of Republicans?

6. There is no justice in America.

Yeah, let's let the rich man wait for justice and hide information about him that could affect the election. SSDD.

7. Trump made them an offer they can't refuse

He proffered a coupon for a full TEN PERCENT OFF! those tender juicy
Trump Steaks. You know, the ones previously only found in 5 star restaurants and his
own exclusive resorts and world class golf courses.
(I am expecting the whole matter to be dismissed, with prejudice, very soon now.)
