Trump University Documents Reveal Aggressive Sale Tactics

HeadlineJun 01, 2016

The news over Donald Trump’s veterans’ donations has overshadowed the release of hundreds of pages of documents from Trump University as part of an ongoing lawsuit arguing the defunct for-profit school defrauded students. Judge Gonzalo Curiel ordered the release of the documents, which include “playbooks” outlining how Trump University staffers should play on people’s emotions and weaknesses and urge them to amass credit card debt or rely on retirement funds to pay for classes. Trump has attacked Judge Curiel, saying he “happens to be, we believe, Mexican.” Curiel is a U.S. citizen, born in Indiana.
