Settlement Near in Trump University Case: Reports
Trump would potentially pay between $20 million and $25 million.
SAN DIEGO -- President-elect Donald Trump is nearing a settlement in the class-action lawsuits filed against him and his now-defunct Trump University, according to broadcast reports.
The potential settlement comes hours before a hearing on whether to delay the trial of one of the cases in San Diego. The settlement -- in which Trump would agree to pay between $20 million and $25 million but not admit any wrongdoing -- could be announced as early as today, Nov. 18.
San Diego federal judge Gonzalo Curiel was originally scheduled to hear arguments today on whether to postpone this month's trial of a class-action lawsuit filed by former students of the now-defunct Trump University who claim they were duped into paying up to $35,000 to learn real estate secrets from experts supposedly hand-picked by Trump himself.
