Judge Signs Off on $25M Trump U Settlement
Remember Donald saying he would never settle? Just another lie from an inveterate* liar.
SAN DIEGO (CN) – It took a federal judge less than 24 hours to decline a Florida attorney’s request to opt out of the $25 million Trump University global settlement, granting final approval of the agreement Friday.
U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel declined to grant final approval of the settlement from the bench at a hearing Thursday, during which Sherri Simpson’s attorney Gary Friedman argued why his client should be allowed to opt out – despite filing a claim to recover damages – so she could file her own fraud case against President Donald Trump.
The judge ultimately denied Simpson’s objection in his Friday order.
