		</div><p>President-elect Donald Trump has paid $25m to settle three lawsuits against his now-defunct Trump University, signalling that a judge&#8217;s approval of a settlement agreement remains on track for March 30.</p>
<p>Trump Entrepreneur Initiative LLC paid the money into escrow ahead of Wednesday&#8217;s deadline, said plaintiff lawyer Jason Forge, who represented people who took seminars that promised to teach success in property.</p>
<p>Trump University was renamed Trump Entrepreneur Initiative in 2010 after New York state officials objected to the name because it was not an accredited school.</p>
<p>Under terms disclosed last month, Mr Trump was to pay $25m at least two days before his inauguration to settle two federal class-action lawsuits in San Diego and a civil lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.<br />

<p>The agreement sets aside $4m for the New York attorney general&#8217;s office and the rest for about 7,000 people who took Trump University programmes.</p>
<p>Students who paid up to $35,000 a year are expected to be eligible for refunds of at least half of what they paid if US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel approves the settlement on March 30.</p>
<p>Plaintiff lawyers agreed to waive their fees.</p>
<p>Last month, Judge Curiel granted preliminary approval, triggering notices to the former students to either accept the terms or object. They have until March 6 to object.</p>
<p>The lawsuits allege that Trump University gave nationwide seminars that were like infomercials, constantly pressuring people to spend more and, in the end, failing to deliver on its promises.</p>
<p>They contend that Mr Trump misled students by calling the business a university and by saying that he had hand-picked the instructors.</p>
<p>The settlement was announced 10 days before a trial was scheduled to begin in San Diego, sparing Mr Trump constant news coverage of a controversy that dogged him during the campaign.</p>
<p>Mr Trump admitted no wrongdoing and said at the time that he settled to allow him to focus on the country.</p>
