But Assistant Attorney General Rick Berlin told Donald Trump’s lawyers that “the promises made to students were “virtually impossible to achieve” and that the information covered “is essentially unusable”, according to the story. “And now he’s ready to share – with Americans like you – the Trump process for investing in today’s once-in-a-lifetime real estate market”.
“You didn’t personally select these instructors, correct?” he was asked. He responded: “That is correct”. Please see our terms of service for more information.
Morales’ interview with the Texas Tribune makes the point very clearly that Abbott had nothing to do with pulling the plug on the investigation into Trump University.

However, during the December deposition, he repeatedly said he could not remember details about hiring decisions.

On Thursday, Schneiderman told Stephanopoulos that the case was brought in 2013 after more than a year of extensive negotiations with Trump, pushing back on the anchor’s question about Schneiderman being a member of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton’s leadership council. Schneiderman said it was not and that the lawsuit was filed in 2013, two years before Trump made a decision to run for president. “He settles cases all the time”.
