Judge Denies Request to Delay Trump University Trial by Five Weeks17 November 16
Donald Trump requested the delay to a trial beginning 28 November which will determine whether his now-defunct university defrauded customers
US district judge Gonzalo Curiel ruled on Thursday that the trial will begin on 28 November, as previously scheduled. Trump attorney Daniel Petrocelli asked the judge to delay the trial to 2 January because he must be in Los Angeles on 15 November for another trial. The judge in that case rejected a delay. The Republican presidential candidate has repeatedly criticized Curiel’s handling of the case, noting the judge’s Mexican heritage. Curiel says the class-action lawsuit targeting Trump University is more than six years old and Trump’s attorneys did not raise scheduling concerns until late August. The judge also scheduled a hearing to establish jury instructions for 10 November. The presidential election takes place on 8 November. |
