NY judge decides Trump University case going to trial
FoxNews ^ | 4/26/2016 | NA

A New York judge decided Tuesday that a fraud case against Donald Trump over his former school for real estate investors will go to trial – raising the possibility that the Republican presidential primary front-runner could testify during campaign season.

New York County Supreme Court Judge Cynthia Kern made the decision at a hearing Tuesday, though it remains unclear whether the case will be weighed at a jury trial – which is what Trump’s team is seeking. Trump attorney Jeffrey Goldman said it’s possible the trial could be held this fall, and Trump could testify.

In the case, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, a Democrat, has accused Trump and others of misleading thousands of students over the school.

Schneiderman alleges that Trump University was unlicensed since it began operating in 2005 and promised lessons with real estate experts hand-picked by Trump, only one of whom had ever met him. The attorney general said the school used "bait-and-switch" tactics, inducing students to enroll in increasingly expensive seminars.

Trump's direct responsibility for this is probably small, but the timing is still bad for the fall campaign.

When you consider how many university graduates can only find work as barristers or Uber drivers, perhaps all academic institutions should be sued.

Yes it does and the whole thing smells. Trump should have at least refunded their money and avoided this lawsuit.

When has NY NOT had an AG who reeked of politics? You guys had Eliot Spitzer in that job.

Even a bad attorney should be able to delay the start of this trial past the election. And Trump can afford the best.

Yeah, it’s part of a problem with Trump. All the stuff with people he’s stiffed is going to come flooding out when he wraps up the nomination. Anyone who thinks the media isn’t gleefully laying in wait to take him out is just kidding himself. November is going to be a disaster.

If you draw the wrong judge, though, it won’t matter how good your attorney is. And there are a lot of people who were ripped off by this scam university. They deserve their day in court.

You can bog it down in an endless flurry of pretrial motions. O.J. Simpson’s attorneys delayed things for months over challenges to how many hairs they could take from his head to match samples from the crime scene.

With Trump’s current popularity in NY, the jury will probably award Trump rather than the plaintiff.

What recompense is due the families of the four brave men who died in Benghazi? Shouldn’t SWMNBN at least told the truth?

How much damage has SWMNBN done with her private e-mail server? She should be brought to trial, to be fair.
