SAN DIEGO (AP) - A federal judge who has been a target of Donald Trump's scorn must decide whether to release videos of the presumed Republican presidential nominee testifying in a lawsuit about the now-defunct Trump University -- images that Trump's attorneys worry will be used to tarnish the campaign.

U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel faces Trump's attorneys in San Diego Wednesday for the first time since he permitted release of unrelated documents in a class-action lawsuit alleging fraud. That move led Trump to intensify attacks on the judge that included mention of the judge's Mexican heritage.

News organizations want full transcripts and video of Trump's recent depositions. The big battle is shaping up over the video, which Trump's attorneys don't want to see in campaign ads.
