Those defamation suits can get really expensive

Like this one against one of the Trump University students?

Trump also filed a $1 million defamation suit against former Trump University student Tarla Makaeff, who had spent about $37,000 on seminars, after she joined the class action lawsuit and publicized her classroom experiences on social media. Unable to prove malice, Trump University lost an anti-SLAPP lawsuit (under statutes designed to thwart legal intimidation of class action participants) and was ordered by a U.S. District Judge in April 2015 to pay Makaeff and her lawyers $798,774.24 in legal fees and costs.

I'm well aware.

She has now withdrawn (Feb 8th) from the Five Person Class Action Lawsuit.

Trumps attorneys are saying...wait a minute. She's the original plaintiff...and the whole suit hinges on her.

It's not over.
