Jon Bon Jovi Campaigns With Hillary Clinton In Newark
NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has received an assist from New Jersey rocker Jon Bon Jovi.
The performer joined Clinton at a campaign event held Wednesday at Rutgers' Newark campus. Also taking part was Cory Booker, one of New Jersey's two Democratic U.S. senators.
As CBS2's Dick Brennan reported, Clinton aimed her fire at Donald Trump and his Trump University.
"Trump U was a fraudulent scheme where Donald Trump enriched himself at the expense of hard working people," she said, "Trump himself is a fraud."
In a class action suit former students claimed they were tricked into buying expensive real estate investment seminars which they said yielded little results.
The Trump camp said the complaint comes from a small number of students and has labeled the federal judge in the case -- Gonzalo Curiel -- a hater.
"The judge has been very unfair, has not done a good job, has not been a good judge," Trump said.
