NY Supreme Court Judge Kern Tells Trump To Prepare For Trial 45 days

This as about the NY attorney General suing Trump University in 2012 for refusing to remove the use of the term University from his fake school for years after being notified multiple times starting in 2005. It seeks fraud damages for more than 600 New Yorkers who paid to attend.

This is separate from the federal RIICO trial he'll be testifying in and the federal class action trial against hi where trial starts November 28th.

Judge tells Trump lawyers to prepare for discovery in fraud case

A New York judge decided Tuesday that a fraud case against Donald Trump over his former school for real estate investors will go to trial ? raising the possibility that the Republican presidential primary front-runner could testify during campaign season.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing. He has said it was "a terrific school" with 98 percent approval ratings by its students.

Schneiderman had sued Trump and the school, which changed its name to the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative before it closed in 2010, for $40 million. The lawsuit seeks restitution and damages for more than 5,000 students nationwide, including 600 New Yorkers, who paid up to $35,000 each.

Trump filed complaints with the state's ethics commission in 2013, four months after the lawsuit was filed, alleging Schneiderman pursued it to wring out campaign contributions from Trump's daughter Ivanka. The commission dropped the complaint after a review. Schneiderman denied it, and his campaign returned the $500 donation Ivanka Trump had made in 2012.

Trump's fellow Republican candidates have attacked him over litigation against the school, including a class-action suit in California. Trump criticized the judge in that case.
