By
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Donald Trump's attorneys on Thursday agreed to enter
settlement talks in a class-action fraud lawsuit involving the
president-elect and his now-defunct Trump University, raising the
possibility of a quick end to the 6 ½-year-old case just before it goes
to trial.
Daniel Petrocelli, Trump's lead attorney on the case, also asked to
delay the trial to early next year, saying Trump needed time to work on
the transition to the presidency.
"The good news is that he was elected president. The bad news is that
he has even more work to do now," Petrocelli told U.S. District Judge
Gonzalo Curiel.
The lawsuit alleging Trump University failed on its promise to teach
success in real estate begins in San Diego on Nov. 28 before Curiel, an
Indiana-born jurist who Trump accused of bias during the presidential
campaign for his Mexican heritage.
Both sides accepted Curiel's offer to work with U.S. District Judge
Jeffrey Miller, who is based in San Diego, on a possible settlement.
