President-elect Donald Trump, who has repeatedly bragged he never settles lawsuits despite a long history of doing so, has agreed to a 25 million settlement to end the fraud cases pending against his defunct real estate seminar program, Trump University, according to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Schneiderman said in a Friday statement that the settlement includes a 1 million penalty paid to New York state for violating the states education laws by calling the program a university despite offering no degrees or traditional education.
Schneiderman said his office had sued Trump for swindling thousands of innocent Americans out of millions of dollars and that the settlement had come despite resistance from Trump. Today, that all changes. Todays 25 million settlement agreement is a stunning reversal by Donald Trump and a major victory for the over 6,000 victims of his fraudulent university, he said. Neither representatives for Trump nor lawyers for plaintiffs in the two California suits immediately responded to a request for comment.
The settlement eliminates the possibility that Trump will be called to testify in court in the midst of his presidential transition. The deal ends three suits against him, including a California class action case that was scheduled to go to trial later this month, as well as a second suit in that state and the New York state action.

It's one thing to get a decision - it's a whole nother thing to actually collect on it!
She dropped the case again.
This president thing is costing him a fortune.
Can't wait until he has to move to public housing! 
if you or I were to do this we would be in the witness box answering some questions.
Amazing how someone that committed fraud can now walk, and those individuals are still in a lurch.
This just p****** me off to no end.
The public was told for months that this was going to trial, months. And people wonder why they / we are upset, there are those that commit a crime and get away with it, and then there are those that commit a crime and go to trial
