Donald Trump moved closer to a jury trial over allegations he misled Trump University students with promises that seminars as good as the Wharton business school would be taught by his "handpicked" instructors.
Trump, 69, and the school on Wednesday lost a bid to throw out the claims by senior citizens and other disappointed students ahead of trial. The billionaire and his business, which stopped enrolling students in 2010 and changed its name to Trump Entrepreneur Initiative, convinced U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel in San Diego there was no need for a court order barring further misrepresentations about the seminars.
A pretrial hearing is set for January in the five-year-old lawsuit as the real estate tycoon pursues the Republican nomination for president.

Trump called the New York attorney general "incompetent" and a "lightweight." The suit is pending. Other consumer cases were filed in Florida and California.
"If you go to Wharton or Harvard, they didn't have a 98% approval rating," Trump, who graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, told CNN after Schneiderman's lawsuit was filed. "People loved the school. The school was terrific."

he hasn’t caught up yet. Trolling the internet takes time.
don’t throw me in the briar patch
“may have to..”
“would be amusing...”
The language of pipe dreams.
Much more precarious than the imaginary natural born citizen issue.
Exactly .. it’s just the cherry on top
Weirdly enough, Very Coking, the old lady whose property Trump tried to get on the cheap via eminent domain called Trump "a maggot, a cockroach and a crumb".
Ahhh, now we know why he is running for president. So he can pardon himself!
I’ve seen this hanging out there for the October surprise...Obama is confident a Democrat will follow him. He controls the department of Justice... It’s all planned out.
Any word on the hearing? ... A two month old story about a five year old lawsuit.
I love the smell of desperation in the air. The Cruzbots know Ted is in deep doo doo, so, looky - here’s a shiny squirrel.
It’s a lawsuit.
Yep.
I don’t know much about this but I hear it is a very big thing. A very big thing.

Who cares? Maybe someone who stayed in his hotels got a bad nights rest, should be call on him to quit the race?
When this story shows up above the fold on Drudge, you can tell us it’s an issue....like Cruz’s latest screwup.
Did Trump actually attend any classes while at Wharton? After he flunked out to Fordham, his daddy had to pay for a wing at Wharton to get him a degree. But he won’t release his school records.
Is there a single graduate of “Trump I’m versity” who did something great? Even was a shift manager at Starbucks?
I was just joking anyway. President can’t pardon a civil claim.
He is already being sued. The media is just covering it up for him.
