Court documents shedding new light on the former Trump University which exemployees are calling a fraudulent scheme. A conservative considers jumping into the president ial contest as a thirdparty candidate. Lets go live to phil mattingly. Whats the latest . Donald trump has said repeatedly on the campaign trail that he could have settled this lawsuit related to Trump University and put this whole issue behind him but he wanted to win. His case has no merit so hes willing to fight. Hillary clinton agrees and now shes attacking. Trump and his employees took advantage of vulnerable americans encouraging them to max out their credit cards, empty their retirement savings, destroy their Financial Futures all while making promises they knew from the beginning. Reporter new documents outlining aggressive and alleged predatory tactics from the employees of now defunct Trump University. This is just more evidence that donald trump himself is a fraud. He is trying to scam america the way he scammed all of those people at trump u. Reporter clintons attacks, part of a daylong assault on the issue, one trump dismissed as without merit. The level of attacks at the impartiality and ethnicity of the judge overseeing the case. I could settle that case. I could have settled it. I just choose not to. Reporter all as the presumptive gop nominee heads back on to the campaign trail and with a stopped schedule in california. I am going to make a heavy, heavy, heavy play. I actually think were going to win california. Were going to make a big thing. Reporter continuing to stick close to the likely democratic nominee in another national poll. Our polling has come out and they are doing very well. We are pretty much even and in some cases ahead of hillary. Reporter trump continuing to cite the positive poll numbers as a driving force behind a once fractured party which is getting behind its nominee. The Republican Party was really wellunified. People you never thought possible are saying i support trump. Reporter but not everyone is on board. Now emerging, david frish, an iraq war veteran, constitutional lawyer and conservative writer who has advocated for just such a candidate now on the verge of becoming one himself, according to gop sources. Trump aides and top gop officials dismissing the idea, arguing that it would effectively hand the white house to clinton and even ardent thirdparty supporters questioning the merits. Eric erickson writing, more and more i wonder if the good of the conservative movement we should watch trump fall on his on sword instead of providing him a conservative scapegoat. Trump also planning his first foreign trip as the gop presumptive nominee, scheduling a june 24th stop in the uk for an official opening of one of his golf course properties. A stop that David Cameron has sparred with trump and just one day after a critical vote on whether to remain in the european union, trump finds himself at odds with cameron, telling the hollywood reporter, after some coaxing, the uk should leave the eu. In the same interview, trump saying that brother of chicago mayor and obamas former white house chief of staff rahm emanuel offered to take charge at the Republican Convention or, perhaps, according to trump, theyd Work Together on a movie underscoring one thing that trump has repeatedly said. The july convention in cleveland will have a showbiz feel. We look forward to it. Reporter wolf, over the course of Donald Trumps campaign, hes repeatedly pointed to Companies Like carrier or nabisco that have moved jobs to mexico. Now that has happened to donald trump. Trump learning today that the pga has decided to move it from doral to mexico. This embodies the very reason hes running for president. The former employees, our Senior Investigative correspondent drew griffin has been going over the documents that have been released. How damaging is all of this. It was all a scheme to defraud gullible people out of thousands and thousands of dollars, they say and it comes from a newly released allegations and a Trump University Sales Manager sums up his view of the school saying it preyed on the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their monday. This man is named ronald shnacken c shnackenberg, who worked for trump for 2006 to 2007 and he quit because i believe Trump University was engaging in fraudulent and dishonest conduct. He was pressured in prying to sell a 35,000 program to a couple he didnt think could afford it. Another salesperson eventually did make that sale and his response, i was disgusted. A sales event manager for six months at the school said instructors used highpressure sales techniques no matter the financial situation of the students. She writes, i recall some consumers had showed up who were homeless and could not afford the seminars yet i overheard Trump University representatives telling them, its okay, just max out your credit card. You heard Hillary Clinton repeat that on the stand. Trumps defense so far, the declarations are going to be disputed in court, he says, and like his attorney told us back in january. The minority of students most of whom loved the seminars. I think you have to look at the context of this entire program. There were well over 10,000 there were well over 10,000 people who participated in the course, whether through free or paid. There is at least 10,000 people who paid. So you can go and pick three or four affidavits from people or maybe 20 or maybe 30. Its still a minuscule amount. Now, i have in my bag and im happy to read for you all of the people who loved the course and sent me affidavits saying that it was a great investment and the best thing they had ever participated in. Wolf, the Trump Group Sent us to a Youtube Video where students said they thought the course was terrific. Wolf . Drew, thank you. Joining us now, republican congressman peter king of new york. Congressman, thank you very much for joining us. Given all of these documents of Trump University, his continued attacks on the republican governor of new mexico, Susana Martinez about some of your fellow republicans. Bottom line, do you still stand in support of donald trump . Yes, i do. Im subpoena porpporting him asf the party. And as far as Trump University, im not Donald Trumps lawyer. I did practice law for a while. What youre hearing now is the plaintiffs case because the case against donald trump. Again, there could be thousands of employees who disagree with him and one thing i learned is, you dont judge anything by an Opening Statement and thats all this is. Again, im not the lawyer. Im not the judge. But i would just say that i would really not put much stock in when you hear one side of the case. Really, that id be much more concerned if i were Hillary Clinton about the Inspector Generals report who heard all sides of the case and came out against her. This is the only opening round and hes got a good lawyer. So usually in that case, if you think the case is early on and they believe that the case against him is somewhat weak. Again, i dont want to prejudge did. Put on your legal hat. Youre a former prosecutor, if you will. Are you comfortable with what donald trump said about the federal judge in one of these cases, that he was a hater, that hes a mexican even though he was born in indiana . No, i generally wouldnt kmebt on churches. I dont think they should be totally off limits but if youre involved in litigation you shouldnt be saying too much about the judge. There are judge who is are biased. I dont know what the situation is here and id be reluctant to say anything if i were involved in the case. But if you felt the judge was unfair, wouldnt you ask the judge to recuse himself . They may try to read some sanctions against him for doing that but basically as a lawyer, again, the person in the case thinks hes not getting a fair case and make remarks about the judge. Again, its not the way its usually done. Dona what about Susana Martinez, head of the republican governors association, a latina, a woman. Are you comfortable with the attacks hes leveled against her . No, i wouldnt do that. She is a respected governor. And, you know, shes in the same party. She is the type of republican, type of american that we want on our side. She is obviously a female. Shes hispanic and, more important than all of that, shes an elected governor and by all accounts i think she has a 67 Approval Rating. So, no, thats if theres any advice i would give to donald trump, i would say to stop attacking Governor Martinez because she is, again, a respected person in the party and rightly so. Mitt romney, the republican president ial nominee four years ago, said he made the decision to oppose trump this time because, in his words and im quoting him now he wanted my grandkids i wanted my grandkids to see that i simply couldnt ignore what mr. Trump was saying and doing which revealed a character and temperament unfit for the leader of the free world. Youre comfortable with donald trump as the leader of the free world . Well, again, it comes down to a choice between donald trump or Hillary Clinton and i think most republicans would support donald trump and on key issues like defense and subpoepporting the police, as you know, on your show ive been critical of him on certain respects in the past but this is a twoparty system and to me you have to make a choice and its either Hillary Clinton or donald trump. As a republican and american, im supporting donald trump. Im not one of these antihillary people but i believe its better to have some is it the ideal choice . No. Except for myself, i dont know anybody who is ideal. Peter king, i want you to stand by. Well take a quick break. Well be right back. Music continues [daughter] papa [father] i missed you [daughter]did you bring new ones . [announcer]you work hard for more than just you. [daughter]you went to montana . [father] i did.

All i want to do is enjoy nature and peace and quiet its not about winning. Its about helping people find a great rate even if its not with progressive. Ugh. Insurance. When i said peace and quiet, did you hear, talk more and disappoint me . Do do do do skiddly do do camping with the family [ flame whooshes ] looktry align probiotic. Our digestive system .

Oralbs rounded brush head cups your teeth to break up plaque and rotates to sweep it away. And oralb delivers a clinically proven superior clean versus sonicare diamondclean. My mouth feels super clean oralb. Know youre getting a superior clean. Im never going back to a manual brush. Were back with republican congressman peter king. You said theres a cry says in your party. Who needs to step in and fix it . I think its important that paul ryan get an agreement with donald trump. I think paul ryan is probably the key person right now and i think senior people should sit down with donald trump. He won the primary. Hes the nominee. Right now i would say its paul ryan and paul is a good friend and wants to make this work. He wants to be able to endorse donald trump. I think by paul and donald trump sitting down more in the future we can get that resolved and get it done before the convention. Speaker ryan has still not endorsed donald trump, as you know. You also know bill kristol, the editor of the weekly standard. The name david french has all of a sudden emerged. Is that at all realistic or productive for a thirdparty conservative to emerge to challenge both donald trump and Hillary Clinton, assuming shes the democratic nominee . I have Great Respect for him but agree with him on this. David french, i dont know him at all but i know his qualifications. Hes obviously a wellqualified guy and a gifted lawyer and a war veteran. No, he has no name identification, no money. And also as a thirdparty candidate, we are a twoparty system and all that would do is incite enough votes from the republicans and elect Hillary Clinton. Listen, i would have been from bill kristols side but we lost. Donald trump won. Thats the reality. And if youre in a party, you should abide by the guy who wins it unless its so outside the bounds and donald trump is not. Its our obligation to make this work. Trump university right now, the allegations donald trump and this Trump University, all of these court cases, there are three in the works right now, how worried are you that this could potentially undermine or hurt Donald Trumps candidacy . I think hell be able to handle it. Listen, if were talking about lawsuits against donald trump . On the other hand youre talking about Hillary Clinton and the Inspector General report and all of those issues that are out there of the two, id rather be on Donald Trumps side as far as who wins those arguments in a debate. Peter king, congressman of new york, thanks very much for joining us. Thank you, wolf. Coming up, our political experts are standing by to weigh in on how much Political Revolution could cause trumps campaign. And later, important new developments in the search for the missing egyptair jet. Are searchers now getting closer to discovering an important clue to the mystery of why it crashed . You both
