There came a day in 1973, when the federal government sued Donald and Fred by name and their company for racial bias.

This was one of the greatest racial bias cases of its time.

This was a particularly egregious case because the Trump organization

had allegedly put large seas to connote people of color who were applying for apartments.

The government had him nailed.

They had the Trump organization nailed.

There were multiple Trump employees who confessed that they had been instructed

to divert black applicants for apartments, to discourage them, to tell them that apartments

had been rented when they hadn't been.

Donald Trump's regular lawyers tell him,

settle it, just move on, do the right thing,

do what you're supposed to do under the law.

And Trump's not happy with that advice.

He wanted to fight back.

He went looking for a new lawyer in Manhattan.

One of the places to see and be seen in Manhattan was called Le Club.

Donald Trump walked in and Roy Cohn was there holding court as he often did.

And Trump said, you know, I know about you, can I ask you a question?

Roy Cohn had 20 years of being a really aggressive, no-holds-barred, go for the jugular, fight back.

Anybody says something, you throw it back at them guy. He was famous for that behavior.

And as legend has it, Donald stuck out his hand and introduced himself and said,

my father is being sued by the Justice Department over this race discrimination.
