Negotiations to overturn North Carolina's "bathroom bill" Friday have given way to uncertainty. According to a report by the Associated Press, while House Bill 142, titled "An Act to Reset," was signed by Gov. Roy Cooper on Thursday, critics say that this is not "a true repeal" of the law created by House Bill 2. Critics say that "it still exposes gay and transgender people to discrimination."

Trump U. Settlement: $25 Million
A judge has approved an agreement that would settle lawsuits over President Donald Trump's now-defunct Trump University to the tune of $25 million. The agreement ends "nearly seven years of legal battles with customers who claimed they were misled by failed promises" of learning real estate success, the Associated Press reports.
According to the AP, U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel's ruling on Friday will settle two class-action lawsuits, as well as a civil lawsuit. Under the settlement's terms, Trump admit no wrongdoing.
Curiel, an Indiana-born judge, was repeated assailed by Trump, who insinuated that the "judge's Mexican heritage exoposed a bias."
Two former students objected to the settlement.
