A protracted two-and-a-half-year legal battle reached the end of October, leading to the removal of Trump’s name from the golf course. Bally’s, which hopes to work with the city to secure a valuable gaming license, is expected to take over the previous contract. Trump was not on a one-year lease with the city.
Bally’s deal is similar to the one Trump made with Hilton to bail him out of his lease with the federal government to operate the former post office in Washington D.C.
While many gathered at the golf course for the unveiling of the new sign, Trump was across town on his civil fraud case, but earlier in the day Nassau County authorities responded to a bomb threat at the judge’s home of the state Supreme Court, Arthur Engoron, who presides over the trial. The incident is not expected to delay closing arguments in the case.
“There was a threat. I can confirm a bomb threat,” said Al Baker, court spokesman. “As of now we are moving forward as scheduled and the court proceedings and closing matters are moving forward as planned.”
