U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel on Tuesday rejected a request by media organizations to allow the public release of hours of videotaped testimony by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a California lawsuit over Trump University.
At the same time, Curiel also refused an effort by Trump’s attorneys to toss the case over his now-defunct real estate seminars, allowing it to proceed to trial.
The two rulings offered Trump mixed results from the federal judge he has repeatedly attacked as biased. Trump has accused Curiel of being unable to rule fairly in the case because of his Mexican heritage.
Curiel rejected a motion for summary judgment in the case, one of two pending in California in which former students of Trump’s real estate seminars argue that they were defrauded by false advertising. The second case is slated to go to trial in November, not long after the election.
