UH OH: N.Y. appeals court REVIVES fraud claim against Trump University

I’m sure The Donald isn’t going to like this news at all. However, he’s probably pleased it didn’t come out yesterday:

REUTERS – A New York appeals court on Tuesday revived a fraud claim the state attorney general brought against Trump University, a for-profit investment program.

The ruling came in a case New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed against the Trump venture in 2013.

The state accused the venture of misleading students into paying for programs they thought came from a licensed university, according to Tuesday’s decision by the Appellate Division, First Department in Manhattan.

The New York Attorney General claimed the Trump venture misrepresented that Trump himself handpicked instructors, the decision said. He also accused Donald Trump of having a significant role in Trump University’s operations.

The lawsuit accused the venture of using “bait and switch” tactics to steer enrollees into higher cost seminars.

Bait and switch. This is exactly what many are worried about in this election.

After all, Trump said he could become anything he wanted.
