Trump launches race attack on judge in fraud case

Thursday 2 June 2016

Donald Trump has stepped up his attack on the federal judge presiding over the Trump University fraud case, telling the Wall Street Journal that Gonzalo Curiel's assignment to the case represents "an absolute conflict" because he is "of Mexican heritage".

A report from the Associated Press published on Thursday evening revealed that the presumptive Republican nominee donated tens of thousands of dollars to attorney generals who declined to pursue fraud charges against the now-defunct organization.

Trump donated $35,000 to the gubernatorial campaign of then-Texas attorney general Greg Abbott – a campaign that was ultimately successful – after Abbott's office dropped a 2010 probe into Trump University's "possibly deceptive business practices".

Florida attorney general Pam Bondi, who endorsed Trump the day before the crucial Florida primary, reportedly declined to join New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman's multi-state fraud suit against the organization after the Donald J Trump Foundation made a $25,000 contribution to a political action committee supporting her re-election campaign.
