Trump Will Take Stand Nov. 28 in Trial over Trump University

HeadlineNov 11, 2016

Donald Trump will be heading to trial on November 28 in San Diego in a class-action lawsuit against him and his defunct for-profit Trump University, which has been accused of defrauding students. Trump’s lawyer says the president-elect is slated to testify. While on the campaign trail, Trump verbally attacked the judge on the case, U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, calling him a “hater” and accusing him being biased against Trump because the Indiana-born judge is of Mexican descent. Trump has also called on Curiel to recuse himself from the case, claiming his heritage represents a conflict of interest. Trump’s comments were widely condemned as being racist, including by leading Republicans.
