BEFORE TAKING THE WHITE HOUSE, TRUMP DUE IN COURT OVER FRAUD
BEFORE TAKING THE WHITE HOUSE, TRUMP DUE IN COURT OVER FRAUD
The class-action case against Trump University is just one of many pending legal battles for the president-elect.

Just weeks before Donald Trump is sworn in as the next commander-in-chief, the president-elect is due in court to defend himself against allegations of fraud in a major class-action civil trial. After failing to persuade a federal judge to delay his November 28 trial date, Trump will take the witness stand this month as he confronts a host of former Trump University students who claim they were duped into paying as much as $35,000 for largely useless real-estate seminars.
Jury selection in the much-anticipated trial is set to begin the Monday after Thanksgiving, when Trump will also come face-to-face with U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whom Trump raged against during the general election as biased because of his Mexican heritage. His remarks were widely condemned by both Democrats and Republicans, with even House Speaker Paul Ryan calling Trump’s accusation “the textbook definition of a racist comment.”
Now, the ball is in Curiel’s court. The Indiana-born jurist will hear arguments Thursday as to what evidence will be permitted in the civil trial, Politico reports. Trump also faces a separate, federal lawsuit, likely to take place after the inauguration, on racketeering charges related to the now-defunct educational program.
The Trump University case isn’t the only legal battle facing Trump as he prepares to take over the White House. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who filed another suit against Trump University in 2013, is currently investigating the hometown billionaire’s namesake charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, for alleged “self-dealing” and other violations of the tax code governing nonprofit organizations. Last month, the attorney general’s office ordered the Trump Foundation to cease fund-raising after finding the charity in violation of New York law.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also looking into one of Trump’s closest aides, Paul Manafort, and his business ties to Russia.
(Both Manafort and the Trump campaign have strenuously denied any wrongdoing.) According to a public letter from Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, the bureau has been withholding “explosive information” linking Trump and his top advisers to the Russian government.
Then there are the lawsuits that the ever-litigious Trump has either threatened or launched himself. The president-elect is still embroiled in two separate breach-of-contract lawsuits with restaurateurs Geoffrey Zakarian and Jose Andres, who pulled out of deals with Trump in the wake of comments the then-presidential hopeful made about Mexican immigrants. Trump has also threatened to sue nearly a dozen women who have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment and assault against the former reality-TV star over the past month—which could mushroom into multiple lawsuits as some of the women have threatened to countersue if Trump moves forward. He also warned that he intends to launch defamation and libel suits against a slew of media organizations for their coverage this election cycle, including The Washington Post and the New York Times.
The lawsuits aren’t likely to stop once Trump moves into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, either. The American Civil Liberties Union is already threatening to unleash its “full firepower” on Trump if he moves forward with a number of constitutionally questionable policies, such as his proposed Muslim ban and his promise to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants. “See you in court,” the civil liberties group cautioned on its Web-site. Anthony Romero, the director of the organization, also warned Trump in a statement Wednesday. “One thing is certain: we will be eternally vigilant every single day of your presidency and when you leave the Oval Office, we will do the same with your successor,” he said.

No one cares. This happens in business every day and courts will decide. I had to sue CitiGroup and Nissan over a fraud in business. Everyone still drives their cars, buys their forklifts and uses their banking services.

Those people paid to take a course. If they passed and did not apply themselves or what they learned to be successful...they failed themselves.

How nice of them to be so impartial. There are SO MANY CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS that were designed to make us a nation free of foreign control, and where states cannot override the federal authority."Men of low degree are vanity, Men of high degree are a lie. " David

Whatever judges can be appointed by Donald Trump to move out the liberal, progressive appointments by Obama who often desire to create law and to ignore the Constitution should be done quickly. He should have his appointees so we are not continually being thwarted through the legal system by the likes of the amnesty supporting groups and others.

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

When they are appointed How long do federal and Supreme Court justices serve?
Once confirmed, judges have lifetime tenure, and serve as long as they wish. Like other federal officials, judges can only be removed through a formal impeachment process. Acquitted by the Senate in 1805, Samuel Chase was the only Supreme Court justice ever impeached.

To remove them, you have to impeach them for crimes. But when they retire, you can replace them with better Judges.

I can see the Supreme Court Justices for life, but I don't believe that Federal Judges should be appointed for life. Judge shopping happens.
