Donald Trump To Be Witness In Federal Case Accusing Him Of Fraud (Trump University)
CNN Money ^ | February 25, 2016 | Chris Isidore

Donald Trump is slated to appear as a witness in the case charging him and the former Trump University with fraud.

The plaintiffs and defense attorneys in the case both have listed Trump on their witness lists recently submitted to the court.

While a trial date has yet to be set, it could take place in late spring or early summer. The final pretrial conference in the case is scheduled for May 6.

The case was initially filed nearly six years ago in federal court in Southern California.

It is one of three suits that Trump University faces, including one by the New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who accused the school of being a "bait-and-switch scheme."

He is on the witness list. It does not mean he will appear.

Rich people get sued all the time.

If Trump wasn’t running for President, none of this would attract notice.

The Washington Post did the same exact thing with Kaplan University.

Kaplan kept them afloat for years, on the backs of dumb kids burying themselves in debt for a useless “education.”

Trump will be in the courthouse more than on the campaign trail when Hillary lets her dogs out. The media will crucify him then. Unless something dramatic happens, Hillary will be president, and America deserves it for letting corruption get so out of hand.

Trump likes his name on everything.

Maybe he can build himself a prison for himself.

True.

But between him getting to show off and the plaintiffs getting to cross examine I think he will be forced to do so.

Also expect the this to come up in the trial as well

Maybe I should sue my University because the education was overpriced and I didn’t become rich.

Next I’m gonna sue McDonald’s because of their hot coffee.

It is just a negotiating ploy.

Any attorney who can’t get this postponed past the election is not worth his half-million dollar retainer.

More free publicity for Trump. He knows how to work it.

By the way, do you know where I could get a Trump University t-shirt? Than would be sweet!

“If Trump wasn’t running for President, none of this would attract notice.”

But he is running. And this should attract notice.

You mean he can say “no” to a court summons?

Trump University seems to be a total fraud and scam.

Just like the candidate

July 2015 story - why’d you put today’s date? Deceit is no way to win an argument.

I am confused- I only saw part of the debate. I thought Trump said it was a CIVIL case and this article says it is a federal case????

Hit piece! Trump was only scamming gullible people to improve the U.S. economy! By taking money away from those who weren’t productive with it, he made America great again!
