The business at The Bronx golf course managed by former President Donald Trumps company has grown since the Jan. 6 uprising, according to his lawyers, who said the links have reaped a record $ 8 million this year. .
The lawsuit came in court papers filed Wednesday when The Trump Organization fought Mayor Bill de Blasios to oust the firm as operator of Trump Links at Ferry Point.
De Blasio moved in the days after the uprising at the U.S. Capitol to rescind all of Trump’s contracts with the city, accusing the then president of inciting unprecedented attacks on U.S. democracy.
But lawyers for the lone president who has been impeached twice have called for a judge to issue a stay on selecting a new operator for the public golf course that is arguing contrary to the city’s disputes. , the insurrection on January 6 did not retain customers.
The city took the position that the events of Jan. 6 were deadly to our golf business, Trump attorney Ken Caruso told the CITY. This shows that it is not so, because the events of January 6, which I state in my court papers, have nothing to do with golf.
The Trump Organization filed its case because the former president reportedly urged four former aides to ignore a midnight deadline in a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Capitol attacks.
The legal maneuver also came a week after a controversial homeless operator was tapped by the de Blasios Parks Department to help take golf course operations to a halt in the deal.
Above Par
Trump Ferry Point is currently enjoying its strongest season, with a huge increase in golf rotation played and revenue, lawyers for the former president said in court documents, citing deposits from the general golf course manager.
Between January 1, 2018, and October 4, 2018, 18,738 rounds of golf were played at Trump Ferry Point, bringing in more than $ 5.7 million, according to court papers.
During the same period of the following year, about 22,270 rounds of golf played generated more than $ 7.2 million, court papers said.
In 2020, rounds dropped to 15,213, due to the pandemic but between January 1 and October 4 of this year, the course brought in $ 8,225,462 based on 25,220 plays played, according to court papers.
Former legal presidents have declared that the reputation of the business courses, in short, has improved, unspoken and uninspired, after January 6th.

Spokesmen for de Blasio and for the Parks Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Trumps lawyers, arguing with the victim of a commercial stance by de Blasio, are accused of maintaining control of the 18-hole course designed by Jack Nicklaus near the Whitestone Bridge passing through the cities on Nov. 14. expulsion.
Last week, de Blasio said the city is in a strong legal position that the Trump Organization is not. We believe that one will win directly.
The Trump team said the only thing it would get to overturn the legal bid to keep control of the course publicly was a $ 30 million payment from New York City taxpayers.
Doesn’t Make Sense
The city last week revealed that the Department of Parks has tapped CORE Services Group, which has hundreds of millions of dollars worth of homeless contracts, to take over operations with Atlanta-based Bobby Jones Links .
CORE dropped immediately afterwards. An investigation in the New York Times published over the weekend found that the CEO of COREs had pushed at least $ 32 million in government funds to related security, food and maintenance firms and rented the property to CORE, while he earns more than $ 1 million a year.
The New York Post subsequently reported that CORE was plagued by nepotism.
On Monday, de Blasio admitted it was pointless that his administration had selected CORE for the job from 14 firms that had expressed interest.
City lawyers charged that Caruso tried to intimidate a would -be operator, writing, You proceed at your own risk.
A Parks Department spokesman said earlier this week that the agency would not be intimidated by anyone during its or any other potential operator solicitation process.
