WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has said a lawsuit he is fighting over fraud claims involving Trump University is an attempted shakedown by a "sleazebag" law firm and a "horrible, horrible" lead plaintiff.
Neither the plaintiff, Tarla Makaeff, nor her lawyers have responded publicly, but in new court papers filed earlier this week they effectively offered a rebuttal. Though Trump, as a Republican presidential contender, has cast himself as a meticulous businessman, the transcripts sometimes showed he was unaware or uncaring about problems at Trump University.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday blocked enforcement of a Louisiana law that could force all but one of the state's abortion clinics to close, a sign that a similar law in Texas also could be in peril.
The justices effectively reversed an order by the federal appeals court in New Orleans that allowed Louisiana to begin enforcing its 2014 clinic regulation law even as it is being challenged in the courts.
