Fans Take to Philly Streets After Eagles Win Trip to Super Bowl
•
A New York court has refused to throw out a fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump over his former school for real estate investors.
The Appellate Division on Tuesday unanimously rejected Trump’s request to dismiss the 2013 suit. The four justices also denied New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s request for an immediate judgment, saying there are material issues of fact. Schneiderman alleges Trump University was unlicensed and promised lessons with real estate experts hand-picked by Trump, only one of whom had ever met him. He says the school used “bait-and-switch” tactics. Its name was changed to the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative before it closed in 2010. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
Following long Philly tradition, fans started streaming into Philadelphia streets even before the Eagles had officially won their trip to Super Bowl LII.
Large crowds gathered at the intersection of Frankford and Cottman -- where celebrations usually break out.
Another group trooped up Broad Street, briefly closing the street.
Philadelphia police were ready. They had greased the light poles in Center City to prevent people from climbing them -- which they also did when the Phillies won the World Series in 2008 and similar crowds took to the streets.
