President-elect Donald Trump’s $25-million settlement with former students who claimed they were defrauded by his namesake university won preliminary court approval.
U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel in San Diego said in a ruling Tuesday that the settlement, which will reimburse the students about half of what they paid for the Trump University real-estate seminars less refunds they already received, was fair and adequate.
