The years-long lawsuit alleging former President Donald Trump defrauded individuals in his promotion of a multi-level marketing venture has been dismissed by a federal judge but with the assumption that plaintiffs would bring their claims in state court.
In an order dated Jan. 11, New York District Judge Lorna Schofield dismissed the case “without prejudice to refiling in state court,” noting that it was better suited for courts in California, Maryland, and Pennsylvania where the plaintiffs’ claims fell under state law.
