True or False: Trump initially vowed to fight the Trump University lawsuits "until the end" but settled quickly after winning the presidency.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump "rebuffed the claims of fraud" and "vowed to fight them until the end," repeatedly saying he would "never settle" the cases. However, he quickly agreed to the $25 million settlement just days after winning the election in November 2016. This dramatic reversal means Trump settled to avoid the political embarrassment of a fraud trial while serving as president, even though he maintained he could have won the case.
