Iraq War Vet: Trump Fired Me ?Because I Was In The Military?

?I was fired because I was in the military,? she told attorneys as part of an unrelated fraud case against Trump University. ?At the end of my [performance] evaluation, they wrote that it was a problem that I was in the military.? Sommer was an Army staff sergeant who had deployed to Iraq in 2003.

Her reservist commitment amounted to two days a month, she said.

She said she ?won? her case when the company agreed to settle with her, rather than go to trial. ?They found that there was probable cause enough to settle,? she said.

"...at the Trump-owned Trump University, the time required by some reservists to fulfill their military commitments clashed with the demands of their seminar-providing duties. And some of their managers were seemingly unaware that it is a violation of federal law to penalize an employee for absences caused by military service." SOURCE

Uh Oh "...they wrote that it was a problem that I was in the military.?

Trump said he never settles lawsuits though?
