Quote:New York state attorney general Eric Schneiderman announced that Donald Trump has agreed to a $25 million settlement in the lawsuits against Trump University. In a statement, Scheinderman called the settlement "a stunning reversal by Donald Trump and a major victory for the over 6,000 victims of his fraudulent university."Donald Trump, the Man Who Never Settles, Agrees to Settle Trump University Lawsuits | Mother Jones
In a March debate with his Republican primary opponents, Donald Trump was unequivocal: The fraud accusations against him for his involvement with Trump University were completely false and he would never settle the case. Even as Marco Rubio taunted Trump about the case and Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly pressed him on the facts—there were more than 5,000 plaintiffs in the class-action lawsuit, she noted—
Trump dismissed the idea there was anything to the case or that he would settle it. "I don't settle cases," Trump said. "I don't do it because that's why I don't get sued very often, because I don't settle, unlike a lot of other people." He added, "You know what, let's see what happens in court."
Trump's insistence that he would never settle the case extended far beyond that presidential debate. Before the debate, Trump had taken to Twitter to assail the idea he would settle.
