New York City officials have disputed the figure, claiming it's 'wholly unsupported and contrary to accounting thus far.' The 'Termination Payment,' as it's referred to in the lawsuit, is $30 million, according to the company. Terms within the contract say New York City can terminate its deal with Trump at any time without cause, but would be obligated to compensate his company for money it invested in building a clubhouse on the course.ĭe Blasio's scramble to find someone to replace Trump's contract at the golf course by November 15 has led to the city nearly awarding the contract to a homeless shelter operator with numerous shady business dealings Lawyers for NYC argue that even if there were insufficient ties to end the contract for violations, the city could still boot Trump 'under the at-will provision.' The city said Trump was clearly in breach of the contract terms over the MAGA riot and it will 'vigorously defend' its decision.īut in the September 30 filing, it appears that the city is conceding that it'll pay Trump if it has to.
In their suit the company said the move was politically motivated by de Blasio's disdain for the former president. Sources close to the legal proceedings told that de Blasio was more focused on satisfying his political agenda than fixing his city's burgeoning problems.
The ex-president's business sued the city in June for cancelling its contract to run Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point earlier this year. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is prepared to pay the Trump Organization $30 million in taxpayer funds just to shut down Donald Trump's Bronx golf course in retaliation for the January 6 Capitol riot, a court filing revealed last week.
