Trump's Company Settles Golfers' Suit for 94 Cents on the Dollar
The Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter will pay $5.44 million to disgruntled former members' to settle a class-action lawsuit, according to a filing Friday in federal court in West Palm Beach. Last year, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra ordered the club to return all the membership fees and interest.
Trump bragged during the 2016 campaign that he doesn't settle lawsuits, though he's done so frequently, according to court records. The Trump Organization, owner of the golf club, was due to argue its appeal before a federal court in Atlanta in May, according to court records.
"This is an exclamation point on a big win," plaintiffs' attorney Brad Edwards said in an email.
