The Trump University fraud lawsuits will in all likelihood hang over Donald Trump during the general presidential election. But during a Thursday morning appearance on MSNBC, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman claimed Trump tried to make at least one of the fraud cases go away years before he emerged as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

During his campaign, Trump has repeatedly claimed he “never settles” lawsuits against him or his companies. But according to Schneiderman, “Before the complaint was filed [in 2013] there were discussions.”

“He did offer to settle,” Schneiderman continued. “He settles cases all the time.”

He only knows the 3D world he has lived in, and doesn't know foreign policy or any other policy so bad that he continuously has to lie to cover up that weakness. And he's a sleezy businessman who then has to lie about that. His reasons for lying are multiplying.

From USA Today:

And despite his boasts on the campaign trail that he “never” settles lawsuits, for fear of encouraging more, he and his businesses have settled with plaintiffs in at least 100 cases reviewed by USA TODAY. Most involve people who say they were physically injured at Trump properties, with settlements that range as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars.
