Carter had announced he would rule against Eastman on Monday night, after the long hearing, but he didn't explain his full reasoning until issuing his written opinion on Tuesday.
By the end of Monday's hearing, the judge had set a plan for Eastman to make even more disclosures to the House in the coming days.
In his affidavit, Richard Hewson reported that he and his wife “concluded that we had paid over $20,000 for nothing, based on our belief in Donald Trump and the promises made at the [organization’s] free seminar and three-day workshop.”. But “the whole thing was a scam.”. In fact, $20,000 is only a mid-range loss.
Trump University is currently the defendant in three lawsuits — two class-action lawsuits filed in Califor nia, and one file d in New York by then-attorney general Eric Schneiderman, who told CNN’s New Day in 2013: “We started looking at Trump University and discovered that it was a classic bait-and-switch scheme.
Trump University, Donald Trump’s real-estate institution, was a de jure one. First thing first, Trump University was never a university. When the “school” was established in 2005, the New York State Education Department warned that it was in violation of state law for operating without a NYSED license. Trump ignored the warnings.
But “the whole thing was a scam.”. In fact, $20,000 is only a mid-range loss. The lead plaintiff in one of the California suits, yoga instructor Tarla Makaeff, says she was “scammed” out of $60,000 over the course of her time in Trump U.
Lawyers for Tarla Makaeff have requested a protective order from the court “to protect her from further retaliation.”. According to court documents, Trump has threatened to sue Makaeff personally, as well as her attorneys. He’s already brought a $100 million counterclaim against the New York attorney general’s office.
The trial is currently scheduled to begin on Nov. 28, and Trump’s lawyers are asking that it be delayed until after his inauguration as President of the United States on Jan. 20, 2017. Here’s what you need to know:
Launched in 2005, the business changed its name to The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative in 2010, after the New York State Education Department pressured it to stop calling itself a university. That was also the year the current class action suit was filed. According to the Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan New York, ...
Trump’s attorneys argue that the trial should be delayed because Trump is busy preparing for the transition to the presidency. The attorneys for the alleged victims have argued that Trump is less busy now than he will be as President, and some of the plaintiffs are old or ill, so they shouldn’t be kept waiting for a trial.
In an interview with NPR, former student Bob Guillo said those “tricks” included using the real estate website Trulia.com to search for properties and learning about tax deductions on the Internal Revenue Service’s website. Guillo took out nearly $35,000 from his retirement account to pay for the program.
