But there’s also a dark cloud accompanying Trump’s silver lining. Curiel also denied his motion for summary judgment in Cohen v. Trump, a civil RICO case that places Trump at the center of an alleged racketeering scheme through Trump University. That case will now head to trial after the election.

Curiel previously denied summary judgment in Low v. Trump, a class-action lawsuit that alleges consumer-protection violations by Trump University, last November. Trump has emphatically denied any wrongdoing in the lawsuits. He frequently cites positive reviews of the seminars given by former customers as evidence against the plaintiffs’ allegations.

CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other news organizations asked the judge to unseal the deposition tapes on June 10. Curiel previously unsealed transcripts of the testimony on May 27 following a similar motion by news organizations.

Later that night, Trump denounced Curiel at a rally in San Diego, describing him as a “hater of Donald Trump” and described him as “a Mexican.” (Curiel is from Indiana.) He repeated those attacks throughout the following week, drawing substantial criticism from across the political spectrum and raising fears among legal scholars he would undermine the rule of law as president.
