A federal judge on Friday gave final approval to a $25 million agreement to settle fraud claims arising from Donald J. Trump’s for-profit education venture, Trump University, denying a last-minute objection to the deal.

The judge, Gonzalo P. Curiel, issued his order after considering a challenge from Sherri Simpson, a former Trump University student from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., whose lawyers say she should have had a chance to opt out of the class-action settlement and individually sue Mr. Trump, perhaps forcing a trial.

The civil settlement was not enough for Ms. Simpson, who wanted to see President Trump tried on criminal racketeering charges. She also wanted an apology.

But Judge Curiel, in his ruling, sided with the class-action plaintiffs’ lawyers, who had urged him to approve the agreement, saying it was the best possible outcome for roughly 3,730 students, who could recoup more than 90 cents on the dollar of what they spent at Trump University.
 
They should get every cent back and then some, not this settlement. Wish they took it further, a go fund me would have covered it considering it's Trump. He always gets away with it.

The reason why Trump has been so invulnerable to lawsuits is because he has enough money to "run out the clock" forcing his opponents to settle rather then deal with mounting legal fees.
 
So, how is the taxpayer going to pay for it?

Well the prices for his hotels will go up and the security people will just have to pay a bit more ;).
 
Reading that makes me think Trump is really skint and also a total prick who won't pay his debts. The sooner he is kicked out of office the better because I'm guessing he is close to going under business wise again and for good.

The dude has more bankruptcy's than most families have children.
