Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is fighting efforts to hold a trial in a federal class-action lawsuit over his Trump University real-estate program either just before or after the Republican National Convention in July.
Such a trial has the potential to pull Trump off the campaign trail in order to serve as a witness. And in a filing late Friday night in federal court in San Diego, lawyers for Trump said plaintiffs' lawyers are intentionally trying to schedule the trial to interfere with his presidential campaign.
"Plaintiffs’ request to set a trial date in June or August of this year ... is a transparent attempt to prejudice defendants’ ability to defend this case at trial while Mr. Trump is running for President," renowned trial attorney Dan Petrocelli wrote. "It also conflicts with plaintiffs’ acknowledgment to this Court that it would be 'foolish' to think a fair jury could be selected in the middle of the current presidential campaign."
Questions about the Trump University program have swirled around the GOP presidential hopeful recently, and seem certain to continue to do so. The lawsuit already has been a distraction in the presidential race for the real-estate developer, with fellow GOP candidates using it to attack him as a "con man" on the trail and during nationally televised debates. Last week, Petrocelli said it "will be a zoo if it goes to trial" in August.

Trump should have been more like Cruz in his life and never created or lead a business where you run into this nuisance lawsuits from attorneys and plaintiffs looking for deep pockets. Ted was wise never to gain any executive experience. Sticking to government jobs was wise on Cruz’s part.
Take an interlocutory appeal on one of the motions rulings whether it’s a winner or not - there’s your delay if the judge won’t schedule things as needed.
Rather good timing I would say. Amazing how those court systems work.
It isn’t like Trump left an ambassador and three of his security team to die in the Muslim run desert, right?
Millions of business owners manage to operate their businesses without being sued for fraud.
Based upon the fact that Trump is involved in the Presidential campaign?
The more successful the business the more likelihood of suits.
“Trump should have been more like Cruz in his life and never created or lead a business where you run into this nuisance lawsuits from attorneys and plaintiffs looking for deep pockets.”
Or just not start a phony university?
I mean, what would this country be like if Republicans started learning how to fight back? Good grief!
The more crooked the business the more likelihood of suits too.
how many businesses have you owned? Managed ?
I've never run a "university" if that's what you're asking.
no, business.... how many businesses have you owned?
None. What's your point?
98% satisfied customer ratings does not usually indicate crooked business practices. But I understand, you want your man to win so you would think the worse.
I just wanted folks to know you have no real experience and are not a very good judge on matters pertaining to business
Now it starts ! Many warned of this. As the Trumpkins are going to be tied up in knots all campaign long defending their hero unnecessatily because instead of keeping an open mind they closed it . This guy has a bunch of legal suits comming and should have never been a candidate. Whether guilty or not you don’t pick a candidate with this stuff hangimg over his head. Especially when the opposition has a candidate that should not only be impeached but in Leavenworth.
We had the same situation with Romney with his state healthcare plan falling apart he is suppose to campaign against a federal one ?
