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?

From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."

Question mark.l ? Could gleen greenwald have a vendetta against the Obama.administration? Not that he shouldn't. ....
