Having turned Mitt Romney, an extraordinarily kind and decent man, into an imaginary ogre in the minds of a sufficient number of voters, Democrat opposition research propagandists can hardly believe their luck in potentially facing Donald Trump. Add to their pile of must-use issues the possibility that in the midst of a campaign, Trump may be called to testify under oath in a lawsuit in which he is alleged to have defrauded thousands of individuals who ponied up large amounts of money to attend now-defunct Trump University lectures at hotel ballrooms.
Writing at Yahoo Politics, investigative reporter Michael Isikoff (heretofore famous for sitting on the Monica Lewinsky story when at Newsweek) explains:
This spring, just as the GOP nomination battle enters its final phase, frontrunner Donald Trump could be forced to take time out for some unwanted personal business: He’s due to take the witness stand in a federal courtroom in San Diego, where he is being accused of running a financial fraud.
In court filings last Friday, lawyers for both sides in a long-running civil lawsuit over the now defunct Trump University named Trump on their witness lists. That makes it all but certain that the reality-show star and international businessman will be forced to be grilled under oath over allegations in the lawsuit that he engaged in deceptive trade practices and scammed thousands of students who enrolled in his “university” courses in response to promises he would make them rich in the real estate market.

It Don't Matter !
When do we get a chance to prosecute the fraud perpetrated on everyone who has/is paying into SS that will most likely NEVER get it back out? Just saying...
Blah Blah Blah...
What difference could that possibly make? Those people got what they paid for —I ASSURE YOU? his is a political ploy and it is weak a cat dookie.
Trump supporters don’t care. He was right about being able to shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue.
"Having turned Mitt Romney, an extraordinarily kind and decent man, into an imaginary ogre in the minds of a sufficient number of voters, Democrat opposition research propagandists can hardly believe their luck in potentially facing Donald Trump."
Their dream candidate.
How about for being a fraud as a conservative?
Does this make you happy?
Sounds like the 19 of 22 Veterans groups that have still gotten zero for the Trumpathon benefitting his Foundation.
That money is more likely to be donated to Planned Parenthood than support vets.
How has this not been broadcast until now?
It does matter as to character!
Very poor judgment on trump’s part.
Donald is largely a showman!
How pathetic is it that you have to stoop to that level to take a such a bogus cheap shot?
I am embarrassed for you, really sad.
Interesting, and pretty stupid, post! Thanks.
I have read all about this- this alleged ‘media’ outlet should be careful, libel and slander laws are NOT somethign you can ignore just because he is a public figure
RE: Does this make you happy?
Doesn’t matter how I feel, I want to know the truth.
I will be voting for anyone but Hillary and I need to know what I’m really getting.
TRUTH is more important than how I feel.
As a Cruz supporter, I also want to know if what I see is what I get in him.
“How pathetic is it that you have to stoop to that level to take a such a bogus cheap shot?

I can’t tell if you are serious or being sarcastic.
