According to a report published in Newsweek this Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that a lawsuit alleging President Trump engaged in fraud by promoting a pyramid scheme will be allowed to move forward.
“District Judge Lorna G. Schofield ruled that the class action lawsuit can move forward despite Trump’s legal counsel requesting a stay,” Newsweek reports. “The lawsuit, led by four anonymous plaintiffs, claims that the Trump and his children Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump are guilty of fraud, false advertising and unfair competition for their dealings with multi-level marketing company ACN, although federal racketeering and conspiracy charges were dismissed last year.”
