A federal judge denied Donald Trump's effort to have a fraud case involving Trump University thrown out because there was "a genuine issue" about whether Trump "knowingly participated" in a fraud scheme, CNNMoney.com reported yesterday. The judge did, however, rule that Trump's videotaped depositions in the case would remain sealed. U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel's reason for keeping the videotapes sealed was to avoid a "media frenzy" before the trial. "There is every reason to believe that release of the deposition videos would contribute to an on-going 'media frenzy' that would increase the difficulty of seating an impartial jury," Curiel said in his ruling on Tuesday.
