Donald Trump loves to sue. This time, it is him who will drug through the mud.
Donald Trump must go to court
Donald Trump is having an awful week. Here is why Trump must go to court as a defendant in the alleged Trump University swindle. This is poetic justice.
According to LawNews.com
“The Court agrees with Plaintiff that the evidence in the record raises a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Defendant (Trump) participated in the operation or management of the enterprise,” Judge Curiel wrote in his order in response to Trump’s motion for summary judgement.
Judge Curiel also found that there was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Trump was involved in the “scheme to defraud” and whether the University/Trump made representations that were “false and misleading.” Trump’s attorney filed a motion to essentially get the case dismissed, stating that Trump was not integrally involved in the running of the organization, and that evidence from depositions showed that there was not enough to proceed with the case. Judge Curiel didn’t agree, finding the plaintiffs had presented sufficient evidence to survive the summary judgment motion.
Ironically Judge Curiel is the same judge that Trump maligned for his Mexican heritage.
