Univision struck back Friday at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's $500 million lawsuit claiming that it unjustly broke a contract to broadcast beauty pageants, citing his "disgraceful allegations" about Mexican immigrants.
Univision lawyers filed papers in Manhattan federal court asking a judge to toss out the lawsuit Trump filed in July.
The lawyers said Trump destroyed the value of Univision's rights to broadcast the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants when he announced June 16 that he was running for president. ...

Do you watch UNIVision?
...and that little turnscrew reporter will shatter the magnum to much fanfare.
Now that's Funny.....
DING Ding ding....we have a winner.
I am out and about in many communities. You have no idea what the influx of of Central America is doing.
What they have now is Trump or Hillary. These folks will never ever vote for a woman. trust me on this.
We shall see. The lot falls into the lap, but its decision is of God.
A trial or two could be in the cards, if Trump is expected by God to actually learn something about His power. In an abstract justice system it should be slam dunk for Trump. But we now live in a world where injustice runs rampant.
I only stated the fact that Univision has significant resources. I have no idea what any of your last four posts have to do with that.
For the record, I see no reason why Trump cannot do well (>30%) among Hispanics against HRC.
That said, Univision can handle a big lawsuit by Trump. They might even settle out of court for a sum far less than $500 million. I don’t know the details of the original contract and I am no expert in contract law or even as to which jurisdictions apply.

Poor Univision. LMAO...
Good luck suckers. Trump sucked you in. Now deal with it.
Binding contracts are a tough thing to deal with.
Sure, in AP-speak.
He is a petulant fool.
You forget his older sister Maryanne Trump Berry is a federal appeals court judge emeritus ! (She is also a colleague and friend of Sam Alito)
Everyone a drama queen.
It was when he said he was going to build a wall and send all of the illegals back. That’s when they broke the contract. Still not an excuse.
Because they’re mostly men of military age. Oh, there are plenty more, but those are the ones they’re interested in exporting.
We don’t need any more stinkin legal migration any more either.
I don’t think it hurts Trump a bit if the suit fails. But it’s a major coup if he wins. Half a billion will buy a lot of positive advertising. IF he wins he can say “YEah I won it! And I made *UNIVISION PAY* for it.”
Settle out of court for $499 million.
The ties between the Clintons and Spanish TV television network-—UNIVISION-—run deep. Univision newscasts gleefully bash Republicans and praise Hillarys ever-evolving positions on immigration. Jorge Ramos’ daughter works for 2016 Hillary campaign (the same Ramos who bullied Trump).
Univision Network Owner, Haim Sabans unabashed support for Hillarys election effort segued into a partnership between Univision and the Clinton Family Foundation.
NY POST EXCERPT-—Univision recently trotted out Bill Clinton to talk to advertisers——as private equity owners of the debt-laden company sweat it out. Univisions owners are hoping to launch an IPO to cash in bigtime. Getting early commitments on ad spending from Madison Avenue would certainly make an IPO road show before potential investors that much easier....they hope to raise around $1 billion at a valuation of $20 billion, according to Reuters. (Univision has $9 billion in long-term debt.)
Mexican program provider Televisa also has an 8 percent stake. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank — the lead underwriters — are getting ready to gin up some sizzle for a not very sexy business: free-to-air.
THE BIG BURRITO-—HILLARY/BILL CLINTON MEDIA CONNECTION-—WIKI Latino-TV Univision owner, Haim Saban, described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.
Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.
Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings.
Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.Amy Paris noted that Saban’s Clinton-era “generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President’s Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues.”
The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife “slept in the Clinton White House several times.” Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a “very good friend and supporter.”
Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24]
During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that “Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle.” [25] Saban’s donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.
In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: “I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation’s work, particularly on reconciliation issues.”[5] In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20]
In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.
In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to “keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries.”[27] The donors, who “were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign”, “were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party ‘superdelegates’ should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate.”[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors “have been strong supporters of the DCCC” and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.
On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had “offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization’s two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat.”[28]
Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: “I’m a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel.”[38]
Haim Saban touts himself as a worldwide pioneer and leader in the entertainment industry. He is the Chairman and CEO of Saban Capital Group, Inc.

NO SURPRISE The white paper essentially forecasted Obama’s approach to dealing with Iran: (1) the largely hands-off approach to Iran’s bloody 2009 Green Revolution, and, (2) the present-day compromises on its nuclear program.
Did SoS Hillary tell Obama her official advice was based on Haim Sabans input?
