He calls out two men by name and says he's "looking for" a woman, all of whom have said they were scammed by his program.
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Monday released a video in which he defends himself against fraud charges related to the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative. Formerly known as Trump University, the real estate investment seminar is facing multiple class-action lawsuits in different states from attendees who claim it was a scam.
In the video, Trump reveals the full names of two former Trump University participants who say they were ripped off by the program. He holds up positive course evaluation forms he says they filled out.
Trump adds that he's "looking for" a third program customer, presumably referring to a woman who also publicly has claimed she was scammed by Trump's business.
The men Trump mentions in his video both appeared in ads funded by the nonprofit American Future Fund, a conservative group with ties to billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.
In those videos, people -- identified by first names only -- describe spending more than $30,000 on Trump University seminars, and allege that they did not receive the guidance and instruction they were promised.
"Trump University ruined my credit, and it ruined my life," says a man in an AFF ad.
The people who participated in the AFF ad campaign have all since released their full names to the media.
The new Trump video sends a message to anyone else who may consider speaking out against the businessman or his shady endeavors: He will not hesitate to name you and tacitly encourage his millions of Twitter followers to find you.
