A federal judge in Manhattan on Wednesday issued an order that will require President Donald Trump, his adult children and the Trump Organization to continue litigating a class action lawsuit they face in federal court.
The Trump defendants had asked the court to force the plaintiffs into arbitration, but Judge Lorna Schofield of the Southern District of New York declined and observed that the Trumps were improperly wielding the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) “as a vehicle to manipulate the rules of procedure.”
