Donald Trump Gives Conflicting Answers about Trump University Hiring

In a 2013 interview with ABC News and a deposition last December, Donald Trump offered two very different answers about how personally involved he was with hiring at his now-closed Trump University.
The University is the subject of three pending lawsuits in California and New York where plaintiffs have accused Trump University of being a sham.

He wants all the credit (and I do mean "all"
when he slaps his name on something that turns out successfully.
