The Trump Organization says public comments from Mayor Bill de Blasio this week prove its claims that the city nixed a lucrative contract for a Bronx golf course because of a long-running political agenda.
When pressed by media about whether he used taxpayer money to settle a political score in canceling Trump Organization city contracts, de Blasio said Monday, “I am absolutely certain each of those sites will be well run by the new concessionaires. We had to move forward, and it was within our rights to move forward.”
“I mean, that’s why I made the decision and I’m comfortable with it,” the mayor added.
