In federal court, judge Gonzalo Curiel this morning (October 20) thumbed down a motion by Donald Trump's lawyers to throw out the Trump University case.

Former students at Trump's highly-touted real estate seminars had raised a question about whether Trump had "knowingly participated in a scheme to defraud," according to the New York Times.

However, a videotape of a Trump deposition remains under wraps, wrote Curiel, who said that a transcript offers a "substantially accurate" representation of the proceedings. Curiel is concerned that the videos could taint jurors, according to The Atlantic.

Curiel also would not throw out allegations that Trump was a participant in a civil racketeering scheme through Trump University.

1. Federal Racketeering. Now that will be a reality show!

Kudos to Judge Curiel

Trump also faces charges in the Rape Case of a Minor.
I believe that possible indictment takes place just a couple weeks after the Election.
And Trump seriously wants to challenge Hillary's win?!

I think he's got bigger things to contend with.
