The basics say it all, really.

President Donald Trump named former Texas Deputy Attorney General David Morales on Tuesday to a trial bench in Corpus Christi. Morales had been recommended to the White House by Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz. Morales made headlines during the presidential campaign when news outlets learned that in May 2010 the state’s consumer protection division had sought permission to pursue what it believed was a strong case against Trump and Trump University. Investigators asserted that Texas taxpayers had been bilked out of more than $2.6 million, and sought to file a $5.4 million lawsuit. Morales rejected the recommendation. Texas dropped its investigation. Trump University voluntarily ceased operations in Texas.

Incidentally, the federal judgment against Trump University—to the tune of $25 million—was finalized on Monday.

The settlement marks an end to two class-action lawsuits filed by former students, who said they were misled into enrolling in the university's real-estate seminars and given "educations" that were essentially worthless. [New York Attorney General] Schneiderman later filed a civil suit over the programs. Trump University, which shut down in 2010, was not required to admit wrongdoing in the settlement. Trump originally refused to settle the case, and bragged on the campaign trail about his history of seeing cases through to the end. However, he announced shortly after the 2016 election he would settle the Trump University lawsuit.

Texas’s two Republican senators are pushing Morales. Their enthusiastic backing suggests he’ll be yet another success story for the GOP as they set records for judicial confirmations in both the speed and quantity categories.
