US judge denies request to delay Trump University trial
Source: AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
A US federal judge denied a request for a five-week delay by Donald Trumps attorneys in a trial over whether the Republican presidential candidates now-defunct Trump University had fleeced customers.
Lead Trump attorney Daniel Petrocelli had asked that the trial set for November 28 in San Diego be moved to January 2, as it interfered with another case he is handling.
An attorney representing the plaintiffs opposed the request, arguing that the trial date had been set months ago so as not to conflict with the November 8 presidential election or the end-of-year holidays.
The two class-action lawsuits against the billionaire businessman claim that Trump University students were tricked with aggressive marketing that amounted to fraud.
