Curiel ruled that there was enough evidence that Trump University ads were false and that Trump had a hand in their creation. U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel on Tuesday rejected a request by media organizations to allow the public release of hours of videotaped testimony by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a California lawsuit over Trump University. A coalition of media groups, including The Washington Post, had sought the release of video of the sessions. Trump has accused Curiel of being unable to rule fairly in the case because of his Mexican heritage. They show that Trump repeatedly indicated that he had never met instructors at Trump University, despite advertisements for the program indicating that its staff had been handpicked by the real estate mogul.
