Just weeks before Donald Trump is sworn in as the next commander-in-chief, the president-elect is due in court to defend himself against allegations of fraud in a major class-action civil trial. After failing to persuade a federal judge to delay his November 28 trial date, Trump will take the witness stand this month as he confronts a host of former Trump University students who claim they were duped into paying as much as $35,000 for largely useless real-estate seminars.

Jury selection in the much-anticipated trial is set to begin the Monday after Thanksgiving, when Trump will also come face-to-face with U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whom Trump raged against during the general election as biased because of his Mexican heritage. His remarks were widely condemned by both Democrats and Republicans, with even House Speaker Paul Ryan calling Trump’s accusation “the textbook definition of a racist comment.” Now, the ball is in Curiel’s court. The Indiana-born jurist will hear arguments Thursday as to what evidence will be permitted in the civil trial, Politico reports. Trump also faces a separate, federal lawsuit, likely to take place after the inauguration, on racketeering charges related to the now-defunct educational program.

The Trump University case isn’t the only legal battle facing Trump as he prepares to take over the White House. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who filed another suit against Trump University in 2013, is currently investigating the hometown billionaire’s namesake charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, for alleged “self-dealing” and other violations of the tax code governing nonprofit organizations. Last month, the attorney general’s office ordered the Trump Foundation to cease fund-raising after finding the charity in violation of New York law. And Schneiderman’s office isn’t backing down now in the wake of Trump’s victory, either. “The Trump University litigation continues to move through the appellate process,” spokesperson Amy Spitalnick, told Politico in a statement Wednesday.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also looking into one of Trump’s closest aides, Paul Manafort, and his business ties to Russia. (Both Manafort and the Trump campaign have strenuously denied any wrongdoing.) According to a public letter from Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, the bureau has been withholding “explosive information” linking Trump and his top advisers to the Russian government.
