In a discouraging (well, for me, at least – entertain me!) development, the Trump University suits have been settled, according to CNN/Money:
Donald Trump has agreed to pay $25 million to settle three lawsuits against Trump University.
The deal will keep the president-elect from having to testify in a trial in San Diego that was set to begin November 28.
The settlement ends a suit brought by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, as well as two class action suits in California.About 6,000 former students are covered by the settlement. The victims will receive at least half of their money back, said plaintiff attorney Jason Forge at a court hearing Friday.
I still think they should have sat tight and demanded every last penny back, but their attorneys were probably being realistic when they advised their clients to take the deal. The trial would have been deeply fascinating & revealing.
