Hearing Today over Whether to Postpone Trump University Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------------

In San Diego, U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel will hold a hearing
Friday to consider a request by Donald Trump's lawyers to delay the
class action lawsuit against Trump and his defunct for-profit Trump
University until after the inauguration in January. The university has
been accused of defrauding students. Trump is slated to testify at the
trial, but his lawyers are trying to convince Judge Curiel to permit him
to testify via a videotaped deposition. They're also trying to withhold
from evidence everything Trump has said, including in speeches and in
tweets. During the campaign, Trump attacked Judge Curiel, saying his
Mexican heritage makes him biased against Trump.
