Trump unrepentant, claims judge comments ‘misconstrued’

NEW YORK – Donald Trump isn't backing down from his fiery and controversial claim that a Latino federal judge's Mexican heritage means he can't be impartial overseeing a lawsuit that accuses the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's Trump University of fraud.
On Tuesday, Trump doubled down on his rhetoric, issuing a statement in which he continued to stick by his criticisms of U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over a federal lawsuit concerning the defunct university's real estate seminar program.
