A federal judge on Friday approved $25 million agreement to settle fraud claim against President Donald Trump over his now-defunct Trump University.

Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel, in San Diego in his decision said, "The settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable," reported CNN.

Trump University, established in 2005, promised students to teach investing techniques to gain profit in real estate sector.

A one-year apprenticeship at Trump University cost around $1,495, while a membership cost around 10,000 dollars and the Gold Elite, which was the most expensive class, cost at least 35,000 dollars.
