Federal Judge orders Trump Uni to release documents

A federal judge has ordered internal Trump University documents to be released as part of a class-action lawsuit that alleges the now-defunct business owned by the presumptive GOP nominee defrauded students.

The order, requested by the Washington Post, was granted by U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel Friday. The Washington Post first reported the order online Saturday.

The order was granted the same day that Trump told a San Diego crowd that Curiel was "a hater of Donald Trump" and suggested the proceedings were unfair.

Trump also on Friday said of Curiel, who was born in Indiana but is Hispanic: "The judge, who happens to be, we believe Mexican, which is great. I think that's fine." Trump has been criticized for his immigration proposals and comments about immigrants from Mexico.

The class-action civil lawsuit accuses the real estate mogul of fraud after students paid up to $35,000 for courses they say were worthless. Trump's lawyers deny any wrongdoing in the case.

The Post's order sought to unseal 153 pages from four Trump University "playbooks." Another judge earlier ruled that most of the material in the playbooks wasn't confidential or a trade secret. Politico already posted one of the playbooks online in full, Curiel noted.

The trial is set for Nov. 28, after the presidential election.

That's no good though...the lid won't be blown off until after he's already won or lost.

There are rumors that the Trump campaign is going broke and will not be able to run ads in June and July... Hope it's true. :green:

Really? Good tbh. A little scary that we have one candidate under FBI investigation and the other going to trial for defrauding students out of tens of thousands of dollars :poot: but thems the brakes I guess :poot:

That was the original plan actually. But the Judge moved it to Nov. 28: 

Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who'd previously said he was considering holding the trial in June, set a November 28 trial date - 20 days after the presidential election. That means Trump would either be a businessman or president-elect when the trial starts.

A similar case that's been brought against Trump by New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in Manhattan does not yet have a trial date.

Although after reading the piece above.. it now appears that Mr. Trump has TWO lawsuits to deal with.
