A class-action lawsuit by the Washington Post to unseal documents about Trump University has been scheduled for a hearing in May, according to Politico.
Earlier this month the newspaper asked a San Diego District Court to unseal hundreds of pages of documents in the case against GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump. The Post argued the lawsuit filed by former Trump University students has become a campaign issue and the documents should thus be available to the public.
Former students allege Trump University pitched them expensive real estate coursework, sometimes amounting to tens of thousands of dollars, for real estate seminars where students learned little. Trump has denied the claims and said students overwhelmingly approved of the school.
Trump has been criticized during the campaign for the business enterprise, which critics say scammed students. Former Trump University students have filed a separate suit against the business, prompting ire from Trump, who has criticized the former students. The lead plaintiff in the case stepped down due to the pressure and attention.
On the campaign trail, Trump has routinely said that the reason he wins lawsuits is because he does not compromise and settle out of court.
