district judge gonzalo curiel will hold a hearing friday to consider a request by donald trump's lawyers to delay the class-action lawsuit against trump and his defunct for-profit trump university until after the inauguration in january. the university has been accused of defrauding students. trump is slated to testify at the trial, but his lawyers are trying to convince judge curiel to permit him to testify via a videotaped deposition. they're also trying to withhold from evidence everything trump has said, including in speeches and in tweets. during the campaign, trump attacked judge curiel, saying his mexican heritage makes him biased against trump. the largest bank in norway, dnb, has sold its assets in the companies behind the $3.8 billion dakota access pipeline and it is considering whether to terminate three separate loans the bank has made to finance the project. the canceled assets were worth $3 million. the loans under consideration finance up to 10% of the pipeline's construction. relatedlus dnb is not to dnb first. this comes as energy transfer partners, the company behind th

to these these done as quickly as they could and then you have the judge in this case, judge gonzalo curielnd he wants a settlement for some sort of agreement between both parties so frankly, president-elect trump can get on with the business of running the country. the judge, meanwhile, the same one that trump admonished saying his heritage may not be able to allow him to preside accurately over the case. so now we're looking at a situation in which the most ironic part of this is that the precedent for a sitting president to face a civil suit including testimony reads paula jones v. president bill clinton in 1997 for sexual misconduct but we are hearing again that they're close to a settlement at this point. stephanie? >> thank you, steve patterson. joining us outside of the federal courthouse and a lot farther from san diego to my friend chris jansing in berlin with an exclusive behind the scenes look at president obama's final foreign trip. hey, chris. >> reporter: hey, stephanie. well, let me tell you, you're going to get some incredible reaction from the top diplomat here in germany.

judge gonzalo curiel says in a preliminary hearing he's incolliinclin inclined to allow that evidence> one of your stories -- your actual story here on cnn. part of the evidence in this case. >> reporter: the plaintiffs wanted to get in -- it's a candid and honest interview we did with one of trump university's top instructors, james harris. the plaintiffs say they can't find him to drag him into court, so they wanted to play our story instead. her it here it is james harris. >> do you remember when you said i am a former license agent broker at 29 i became the top 1% broker in the country, i build homes in atlanta, georgia, and i used to live in beverly hills. >> yes. i -- if i said those things, they are true. i did live in beverly hills, and i -- >> we have no record of you ever living in beverly hills. >> okay. well -- >> we can't find your broker's license anywhere. >> okay. >> and i have no idea what homes you have built in atlanta, georgia. you build homes in georgia? >> i am not prepared to answer those questions today. >> brooke, you can see why the plaintiffs wanted to use t

what seems to be in line with this new information is the perspective of judge gonzalo curiel and admonished, said maybe shouldn't be on the trial in the first place because of his heritage. he's been pushing for an agreement or some sort of settlement wean tbetween the tw parties between minute one saying he hopes president-elect trump getting on the business of basically running the country and the biggest irony is the precedent for a sitting president to face the suit with given testimony with paula jones versus bill clinton and after their relevancy, attacking trump in some way. >> thank you very much with the latest there and donald trump already taking credit for saving manufacturing jobs. what the president-elect said he accomplished and said he could make good on more promises after this break. want a feast fit for the season? at red lobster's holiday seafood celebration nothing says "treat yourself" like any of these indulgent new dishes. so try the new grand seafood feast with tender shrimp, a decadent crab cake, and a lobster tail topped with white wine butter. or the new wild-cau

. >> reporter: last week in san diego, federal judge gonzalo curiel urged both sides in the first class-actiont to settle the matter, given the fact trump's about to become president. instead, trump's attorneys filed a motion to delay the actual trial until trump becomes president. political attorney stephen kaufman says the real strategy may be to delay the suit even beyond that. >> who knows what's going to happen once he takes office after january 20th that might further prevent him from participating in the trial and allowing his attorneys to conduct the trial at that point in time. so i would imagine a delay at this point would lead to further delays once he becomes president. >> reporter: the lawsuits against his school are just the beginning. there are dozens of lawsuits pending against trump and some filed by trump like the two restaurants that decided they wouldn't open in trump's new old post office hotel in washington after trump made disparaging comments about mexicans. trump's suing them. they're suing trump. then there's the republican consultant suing because she claims tweets c

the judge in this case, as it so happens is this man, gonzalo curiel, that's president-elect trump, thene who president-elect trump said is a judge who can't be fair because his parents were born in mexico and the future president promised to build a wall along the southern border. awkward. let's bring in our judge, fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew nepapolitano. so his lawyers on friday, the -- president-elect's lawyers will say we want to delay this. how will that work? >> well, the judge will hear their argument then he'll hear -- >> not just any judge. >> correct. a judge that then-candidate trump seriously and aggressively trashed by saying because of his ancestry, he can't be fair to me. trump's argument. and they asked the young to remove himself from the case and, of course, he declined. ancestry is not a recognizable basis to remove a federal judge from a case in the united states. you'd have to demonstrate some affirmative prejudice of which there was no demonstration in this case. so they're going to ask -- listen to this, they're going to ask that the case be put

. >> and igniting a firestorm because the judge, gonzalo curiel, an american born in indiana, was of ruling after after ruling after ruling negative, negative, negative. >> i've been treated very unfairly by this judge. now, this judge is of mexican heritage. i'm building a wall. okay? i'm building a wall. i'm trying keep business out of mexico -- >> he's an american. >> he's of mexican heritage. >> if you are saying he can't do his job because of his race, is that not the definition of racism? >> i don't think so at all. >> but others said yes, it was. >> i regret those comments. >> including republican house speaker paul ryan. >> claiming a person can't do their job because of their race is sort of the textbook definition of a racist comment. >> the trump campaign tried to calm nervous republicans by firing controversial campaign manager corey lewandowski. and picking a conservative running mate, indiana governor, mike pence. >> i guess he was just looking for some balance on the ticket. in the wake of the republican national convention, trump's poll ratings went up. it seemed he h

his name is gonzalo curiel, and he is not doing the right thing. >> reporter: in addition to the trumpniversity case -- >> can you raise your right hand? >> yes. >> reporter: -- there are at least 30 other significant cases in which the president-elect is being sued or suing for issues that happened before he was elected. >> the rule is that there's no immunity from suit for anything that happened before. >> reporter: and during the campaign, the famously litigious candidate threatened to bring his own set of lawsuits against the women who claimed he had sexually assaulted them. their lawyer says, bring it on. >> right now, they have no present intention to sue him first. but if he sues, then we will defend them vigorously. >> reporter: trump's business interests may also create conflicts for the soon-to-be president. in the midst of the campaign, he took time off to promote his brand with a trip to his golf course in scotland and later opening a new hotel in washington. trump has had extensive ties with several russian oligarchs close to vladimir putin. he and his children have sought
