Trump on Lawsuit He’s Facing: I Didn’t Ask Judge, ‘Who Is Hispanic,’ for ‘Recusal’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
DONALD TRUMP: "This is almost like a story on success, because this is the way the world works. So the attorney general gets a campaign contribution from the law firm that's suing me. All of a sudden the attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, not respected in New York doing a terrible job, probably is not electable in New York but who knows, and he meets with owe bow ma, gets a contribution I think it's $15,000 and all of a sudden he meets with Obama in I believe Syracuse and the following day or two brings a lawsuit against me. Much of that lawsuit has been won, by the way. He's appealing it. It's on appeal but much of that case, it's a long time already, but much of that case we won. It's won. I don't mean we settled. We've won much of that case. They missed the statute of limitations and most of it is going away but nobody writes that. Nobody wants to write that. We have a very hostile judge. The upshould have thrown the case out on summary judgment but because it was me and a hostility toward me by the judge, tremendous hostility beyond belief, I believe he happens to be Spanish, which is fine, he's Hispanic, which is fine, and we haven't asked for recusal which we may do but a judge very hostile. Should have been thrown out. Wasn't thrown out, and I say I'd rather go to court because when you go to court and you say why did you sign a document you love the school, et cetera, et cetera, why should you pay money for that. I just wanted to give you a little bit of the parameters. You keep hearing about trump University. It's a civil case, sleazebag law firm that does the class action cases they're routine and I will win the case in the end. I just didn't want to be forced to settle and I could have settled it before I did this and I knew somebody would try to use it for publicity but I believe I can turn it around to show you how dishonest these people are and that's the case. If I didn't have a hostile judge --"
