DONALD Trump has defended his Trump University as a booming success for student entrepreneurs and blasted New York's attorney-general, who's called it a scam.
"We have a terrific school. It's done a fantastic job," Trump told ABC's Good Morning America. "We have a 98 per cent approval rating among students."
Trump held several TV interviews to further contest the lawsuit filed on Saturday by New York Attorney-General Eric Schneiderman, which alleges the real estate mogul helped run a phoney university that promises to make students rich but instead steers them into expensive and mostly useless seminars.
"This is a political hack looking to get publicity," Trump said.
His lawyer, Michael Cohen, says Schneiderman is upset the reality TV star didn't give him more campaign contributions, which he claims Schneiderman sought even while investigating Trump University.
Trump denied Schneiderman's claims that he never met with students and didn't pick instructors
"I was totally involved to a very high degree," he said. "I told people what to do, and if they had listened to me, it would have made a lot of money."
Schneiderman declined to comment on Monday.
He is suing Trump and Trump University for $US40 million ($A44.5 million), accusing them of engaging in persistent fraud, illegal and deceptive conduct and violating federal consumer protection law. He says Trump also failed to deliver promised apprenticeships.
State Education Department officials had told Trump to change the name of his enterprise years ago, saying it lacked a licence and didn't meet the legal definitions of a university. In 2011, it was renamed the Trump Entrepreneur Institute.
Schneiderman claims many of the 5000 students who paid up to $US35,000 thought they would at least meet Trump, but instead, all they got was their picture taken in front of a life-size picture of The Apprentice star.
