Donald Trump was accused of operating a racket by a California businessman who signed up for real estate programs at Trump University, which he alleges didn’t deliver on the promise of teaching Trump’s secrets.
Trump was accused of violations of the U.S. Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act in an Oct. 18 complaint filed in federal court in San Diego. The plaintiff, Art Cohen, who said he spent $1,495 on a three-day program and another $34,995 on a “Gold Elite” program, seeks to represent other buyers of the programs in a class-action lawsuit.
