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.

 

[Fracas]

but her emails

 

[daviyoung]

That's only 10 cents per person

 

[The Jackdog]

time for some more mar-a-lago trips to pay for the settlement!

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

But the judge is not fitted since he's Mexican.

She's requesting​ an apology from Trump? Pffft, that's the impossible.

 

[liquidtmd]

But hows he supposed to fund his golfing habit now?

 

[Xando]

Paid for by the american taxpayer investing in mar-a-lago

 

[SenorArdilla]

But hows he supposed to fund his golfing habit now?

With taxpayer money.

 

[Krauser Kat]

That's only 10 cents per person

What? 25,000,000/3730 = $6702

 

[The Jackdog]

That's only 10 cents per person

who taught you math? 90 cents to the dollar they SPENT.

Also:

25,000,000/3730=6,702

 

[Trey]

The taxpayers will pay for that bill.

 

[BlueEyedBeast]

I wonder how Trump will end up scamming the taxpayers to pay for this one...

Edit: Beaten.

 

[HStallion]

Cue a series of tweets from Trump about the corrupt judges.

 

[Arkeband]

That's only 10 cents per person

How do you figure? 25 million divided up by that many plaintiffs is 6702.41.

 

[Binabik15]

Who knew university was complicated.

Pretty sure it's a joke about tax payers picking up the bill.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

It blows my the amount career ending scandals Trump has that people just brush away.

I'm talking about the American population

 

[SGRX]

Maybe he can get Mexico to pay the settlement costs.

 

[jelly]

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.

 

[HStallion]

Nvm misread.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

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.

 

[Dehnus]

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 .

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Like having Tom Vu as president. Huckster in chief.

 

[Slayven]

I thought he won so many lawsuits

 

[Akuun]

That's like what, two trips to mar-a-lago?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

He's already fleeced enough from the taxpayers to cover that.

 

[Saganator]

Sweet so a couple taxpayer funded trips to his golf course and he should have the money.

 

[RuGalz]

A couple weekends​ of golf trips will cover the fee.

 

[ebullientprism]

time for some more mar-a-lago trips to pay for the settlement!

Pretty much. LMAO. All of that is coming from you guys.

He is gonna come out of this presidency not only debt free but stupid rich.

 

[ghostofsparta]

The President of the United States owes 25 million in a lawsuit. I mean, has this ever happened before?

 

[FortuneFaded]

Sad.

 

[Aaron Strife]

I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT

 

[Laekon]

Whats the lawyers cut, 30%?

 

[RinsFury]

The taxpayers will be the ones punished for this, Cheeto will steal what he needs through more golfing trips.

 

[Dude Abides]

Cue a series of tweets from Trump about the corrupt judges.

I don't think so. Trump agreed to this settlement.

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.

This was almost certainly on contingency so the fees are coming out of the $25 million.

 

[Ahasverus]

He'll make the studens pay for it.

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

Us taxpayers will pay for it.

 

[devilhawk]

Doubtful. Paula Jones was really the first modern one.

 

[Oersted]

I don't think so. Trump agreed to this settlement.

After saying he won't settle, yeah

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Great, next up: Deutsche Bank for those 300 millions.

Most contingency fees are between 33 - 40% :/

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.
