Why This Woman Wants Out of the Trump University Lawsuit

One of the principal plaintiffs in the Trump University lawsuit wants to retreat.

Tarla Makaeff filed the lawsuit in 2010 claiming that Trump University defrauded students and made false promises. Now she says that, after Donald Trump has publicly demeaned her both online and during rallies, she wants to withdraw from the lawsuit. The Wall Street Journal reports that in a court filing Makaeff wrote, “I am very concerned about the toll that the trial would take on my emotional and physical health and well-being.”

Since the lawsuit was first filed, Makaeff has suffered health problems, the loss of her mother, and financial distress, and she fears that Trump will continue to retaliate against her. He sued her for defamation in 2010 after she filed the lawsuit seeking $1 million. The case was dismissed, but in a 2012 deposition Trump asserted, “We will be suing your law firm for as much as we can possibly do.”
