Trump University lawsuit headed to New York's highest court
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump probably won't have to defend himself against a civil fraud lawsuit linked to his failed real estate school until after the election.
The state's highest court is expected to decide next year whether to dismiss a fraud lawsuit by the state's Democratic attorney general seeking more than $40 million in restitution for thousands of Trump University students plus penalties.
Trump attorney Alan Garten said Tuesday that they're pleased to have the opportunity to pursue the case and that one prominent issue is whether the applicable statute of limitations is three years for claims, as they maintain, or six years.
