A federal judge has ordered a golf club owned by President Donald Trump to refund nearly $6 million to members who said Trump's team essentially confiscated refundable deposits after taking over the country club in 2012

U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth A. Marra ruled that the Trump National Jupiter Golf Club violated the contracts with members by retaining the fees and locking out many members who had declared their plans to resign.


"The Court concludes that the Plan documents, as properly interpreted, were intended to provide club members of the resignation list with a continuing right to use the Club facilities until their membership was reissued to a new member, provided the club member was otherwise in good standing with the Club," Marra wrote in a 21-page decision issued Wednesday.

Trump is not personally a defendant in the case, but he did sit for a deposition last year that was played at a bench trial in the case last August. Trump's son Eric testified live at the trial.

"I have never been more confident after trying a case that this would be the result," said Brad Edwards, a lawyer for the ex-members. "To me, it was just a matter of time before this verdict came but I'm glad we got it."

1. SOOOO, the Con doesn't always win in his lawsuits. I've only heard the results of 2 since he

was prez elect/prez, and he lost both of them. The Con University, and his one.If things continue like this, the Con is going to HAVE top declare bankruptcy before he's no longer prez. I've heard he really isn't worth what he claims, and jis broke now after you consider his huge debts. If that's true, the bankruptcy might be sooner than I thought.
