Trump is a fraud who is trying to scam America: Clinton

US Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton says presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is a “fraud” who is trying to “scam America”.

Speaking at an event on Wednesday in Newark, New Jersey, Clinton blasted Trump's set of training programs, calling the real estate school "more evidence” that the New York billionaire is a fraud.

“Trump and his employees took advantage of vulnerable Americans,” she said.

"This is just more evidence that Donald Trump himself is a fraud. He is trying to scam America the way he scammed all those people at Trump U,” she added.

Trump University documents, which were made public on Tuesday, show a for-profit scheme that was indifferent to the financial problems of its students.

 A federal judge ordered the release of about 400 pages of documents related to Trump University during the ongoing case accusing Trump’s company of fraud.

Following this development, Clinton declared the university a “scam” and criticized it on her Twitter handle.

 “Trump University employed instructors with no experience and lied to sell outrageously expensive packages,” the likely Democratic nominee wrote. “In a word: fraud.”

Trump is increasingly eating into likely Clinton’s national lead in the race for the White House, a CNN Poll of Polls has found, projecting a tight race for the November vote.

The survey, published on Wednesday, showed that the former secretary of state’s average lead over Trump across five recent nationwide polls has shrunk to a mere 2 percent, with Clinton holding an average of 45 percent support against the real estate mogul’s 43 percent.

The findings project a very different race than many anticipated based on the two candidates’ public polling performance throughout March and April, with the former first lady leading Trump with double-digit margins in 10 out of 14 major polls.
