San Diego, CA – A federal judge is ordering the release of Trump University internal documents in a class-action lawsuit against the now-defunct real estate school owned by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

The order by U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel in San Diego, which came Friday in response to a request by The Washington Post, calls for the documents to be released by Thursday. The Post reported the order in a story on its website Saturday.
Trump University has been cited in anti-Trump political ads during the primary campaign as evidence that Trump doesn’t fulfill his promises. Trump’s lawyers deny any wrongdoing in the case before Curiel as well as another class-action suit in San Diego and a $40 million lawsuit filed in 2013 by the state of New York alleging that more than 5,000 people had been defrauded.
The New York real estate mogul, for his part, has claimed that Curiel is a “hater of Donald Trump” and should be ashamed of how he has handled the case. Trump also has questioned whether Curiel, who is Hispanic, is biased against him because of his call for deporting immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
The lawsuit overseen by Curiel states that Trump University’s nationwide seminars and classes were like infomercials and pressured students to buy more but didn’t deliver as promised in spite of students paying as much as $35,000 for seminars. Curiel already has set a Nov. 28 trial date.
The Post reported that Curiel’s order to release an estimated 1,000 pages of documents cites heightened public interest in Trump and that he had “placed the integrity of these court proceedings at issue.” The judge appeared to reject the argument by Trump attorneys that the information had commercial value, saying that there was no support for the assertion that Trump University may resume operations.
Spanish Judge
That Spanish judge is defiantly biased. No doubt! #UsJusticeSystemCorrupt.
Hog wash. It sounds like it was all a scam to get money. But again aren’t all colleges…
On the other hand I know plenty of idiotic dems that were so excited every time they drive by the Miami trump towers and now call l him fascist racist and what not.
Yes trump might be an idiot but next to Hillary he looks like a saint.
If Trump did nothing wrong regarding his renowned university, he has nothing to fear. Our system is based upon the assumption that all judges are unbiased. Donald would be out of character if he didn’t criticize the judge who ruled against him. He just loves to criticize people.
Ok, let’s hear all the details in the FBI’s Clinton Email investigation. Let’s have transparency in the Benghazi inquiry. Why is the Obama administration and Justice Department stonewalling Fast and Furious ? Let’s get all the details of the IRS being used for political attacks.
What was the President of the United States doing during the hours between 4 PM and 5 AM eastern time on the night of 9/11 2012 ? Where was he ? Who was in charge that night ?
Liberals, Democratic leaders and most media outlets demand infinite scrutiny on Mitt Tomney and Donald Trump. On the other hand, they have been very satisfied that Obama’s two books about himself were all we needed to know about the 2008 freshman senator.
Let’s open up everything. Let’s see Obama’s school records. Let’s hear from people who knew him before he reached the Senate. Does anyone know of a practically a single person that knew him that has come forward to be interviewed? All you rabid supporters, name one person and cite the interview. Did Obama really teach Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” ?
Let’s get transparency on all the foreign donors giving tens of millions to a Foundation run by the Secretary of State. Let’s have full disclosure on decisions by her after these donations.
Yes, let’s have openness and transparency.
When we don’t like the outcome in a criminal or civil proceeding we scream the judge was “prejudiced” against the defendant or target of the investigation. Remember a few years ago when some here screamed that the Judge in Iowa was based against SMR?? Well, not only the trial judge but 3 judges on the court of appeals upheld the conviction and 9 justices of the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the circuit court decision. Azoy, they were all prejudiced against yidden just as this “Spanish” judge hates Trump.
