Trump Will Testify After Election in Trump University Suit

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Donald Trump will testify after the presidential election on a class-action lawsuit that accuses the billionaire businessman and his now-defunct Trump University of defrauding people who paid up to $35,000 for real estate seminars, his attorney said Friday.

A federal judge in San Diego set a Nov. 28 trial, raising the possibility that Trump could take the stand as a president-elect if he wins the White House. The presumptive GOP nominee plans to attend most, if not all, of trial and will take the witness stand, Trump lawyer Daniel Petrocelli said.

Trump’s attorneys resisted the idea of bringing the six-year-old case to trial while the real estate mogul was in the race, with Petrocelli asking for February trial. Plaintiffs had suggested June.

The lawsuit is one of three that accuse Trump University of fleecing students with unfulfilled promises to teach secrets of success in real estate.

1. Well, he'll have plenty of time

to give depositions and such, since he won't be measuring for new drapes at the White House.

2. this doesn't smell good...

what if Trump is elected, resigns, and his CHOICE for VP becomes the President.

[targetpractice]

3. Classic narcissist behavior... Once he wins, his actual interest in the job will end...

You may be right... Perhaps the RNC, establishment, Cheney, et. al. understand this.

[Reter]

11. Not if he gets a preview of the secrets a President knows

No one would resign before seeing Roswell. And Trump is the one person who might tell.

[olddad56]

12. If he were to be elected, he would Kim Jong-un as the most fucked up leader...

of any country in the world.

[StarTrombone]

6. Why would he resign

It's a civil case not criminal

He's also probably pretty well insulated behind various corporate layers to avoid any personal financial harm

He has taken companies through bankruptcy before

4 times as I recall

But they never get into his own pocket

[Tikki]

9. You might be on to something...trump fanboys will remind us that you pay for what you

get....and come on $35,000 is just trump change and those who signed up were losers anyway.

4. If this were Hillary DU would explode.

Haters would demand Federal prison.

[The Second Stone]

5. Petrocelli was the Goldman's family lawyer in the civil

OJ Simpson case. Trump should be shaking in his boots.

8. Defeat Trump so he is free to spend all his time defending himself in court. He'll need it. nt

[truthisfreedom]

10. Perfect timing. Immediately after losing the election

He can lose his lawsuit.

[Democat]

13. This is outrageous unless Clinton gets the same treatment

Why do Republicans get their trials delayed before an election and Democrats get their "investigations" sped up?
