Trump Will Take Stand Nov. 28 in Trial over Trump University
------------------------------------------------------------

Donald Trump will be heading to trial on November 28 in San Diego in a
class-action lawsuit against him and his defunct for-profit Trump
University, which has been accused of defrauding students. Trump's
lawyer says the president-elect is slated to testify. While on the
campaign trail, Trump verbally attacked the judge on the case, U.S.
District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, calling him a "hater" and accusing him
being biased against Trump because the Indiana-born judge is of Mexican
descent. Trump has also called on Curiel to recuse himself from the
case, claiming his heritage represents a conflict of interest. Trump's
comments were widely condemned as being racist, including by leading
Republicans.
