The war of words between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump today
intensified as the Democratic presidential frontrunner accused the
Republican presumptive presidential nominee of "scamming" the American
people after he got embroiled in a fresh 'Trump University' controversy.
"He (Trump) is trying to scam America the way he scammed all those
people at Trump University. It's important that we recognise what he has
done, because that's usually a pretty good indicator of what he will
do," Clinton said at an election rally in New Jersey.
"Today, we're learning about another scam: the so-called Trump
University. The New York Attorney General is suing Donald Trump for
fraud," she alleged.
"And his own employees testified - I want you to hear this - his own employees testified that Trump University -
you can't make this up - that Trump University was a fraudulent scheme
where Donald Trump enriched himself at the expense of hardworking
people," she said.
"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 were false from the beginning. This is just more evidence that
Donald Trump himself is a fraud," Clinton said.
In documents released this week from one of the three pending lawsuits
against Trump University, former employees have described the
now-defunct business as a "fraudulent scheme" and "total lie" that
"preyed upon the elderly and uneducated". Read more.
