The Trump University fraud trials have a 6-year history. The underlying civil lawsuit names Trump as a defendant and claims his now-defunct Trump University defrauded students out of $40 million in course fees. Trump personally received approximately $5 million of it, despite his claim, repeated in the Time Magazine interview, "that he started Trump University as a charitable venture." So Trump has good reason to fear the lawsuits over Trump University: They put a lie to a central plank of his campaign. The legal proceedings have already revealed the details of the Trump University scam.
