Washington: Donald Trump’s race for the White House has sown panic among Republican leaders scrambling to prevent a man billed as a demagogue from clinching the party nomination and one of their weapons is Trump University.

At the center of a $40 million lawsuit in New York and potentially subject to a separate trial in California in August, the now-defunct online education company has been gleefully picked over in the volatile election campaign.

The American Future Fund, the conservative group which links to the billionaire Koch brothers, has bankrolled ads from former students attesting to Trump University trickery and urging US voters to ditch Trump. The varsity operated from 2005 until 2010.
