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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
Why does free speech tv keep putting on glenn, greenwald about his claim that Russia didn't hack our elections, if he got the proof then lau it out, if he don't then his reporting is the same as trump running his mouth.... i will pull my monthly donation from free speech tv. .. free speech tv should have a highet standard than this. Question mark.l ? Could gleen greenwald have a vendetta against the Obama.administration? Not that he shouldn't. ....
