Trump University Trial Set to Begin Later This Month

One of the class-action lawsuits against Donald Trump and Trump University is scheduled to go to trial this month, weeks after Trump became President-elect of the United States.

The lawsuits allege the former university, which took in over $40 million, was fraudulent and deceptive. Trump denies the allegations.

This is one of two class-action lawsuits against the now-closed Trump University being heard in a San Diego courtroom; another lawsuit is based in a New York court.

The San Diego cases include: Cohen v. Trump, a nationwide class action lawsuit and  Low v. Trump , a class action in California, Florida and New York.

“It’s a small deal, very small,” Trump said of the suit at a rally as he campaigned. His lead attorney has said Trump will take the stand if called upon.

While campaigning Trump has specifically railed against the judge in the case, and at one point noted the judge’s Hispanic ethnicity.

“We have waited six and half years to get this case to trial,” Jason Forge, writing for the plaintiffs, previously wrote in court documents. “There is no mystery about what happened here….a possible Trump victory (in the presidential election) would spawn a host of potential new excuses to postpone trial for years.”
