Donald Trump agreed to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuits by making a $25,000,000 payment to the plaintiffs and the State of New York. When this agreement was announced in December, the media practically ignored it.
I have some questions about this because I’ve been concerned about where the money will come from.
1. Has the payment been made?
2. If so, who wrote the check? Mr. Trump? The Trump Organization? The Trump foundation?
3. Does the public have a right to know this?
My concern is that 25 million dollars is a lot to pay, and even though the Trump organization has a lot of assets, these assets are not very liquid. Because of this, he is subject to offers of financial help from Russian banks and Russian oligarchs, among others. Being indebted to foreign interests would obviously compromise his integrity. Are any news organizations looking into this?
