NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump’s company can keep running a public golf course in the Bronx, a judge ruled Friday, saying New York City offered a baseless rationale for canceling the Trump Organization’s contract after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last year.
The ruling sends the matter back to the city “for further proceedings.” It wasn’t immediately clear what those might be. The city Law Department said it was disappointed in the decision and was reviewing legal options.
The Trump Organization declared the decision a victory for the company and “a win for justice.”
The city’s move to cancel the contract to operate the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point Park was “nothing more than a political vendetta,” the company said in a statement.
Days after Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol to try to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory on Jan. 6, 2021, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio announced he was scrapping the golf course contract. De Blasio said Trump incited the insurrection by whipping up the rioters.
Many lawyers and contract experts were doubtful from the start that the city would prevail.

The ASS PRESS is fake news. There was no insurrection.
And Trump should file Formal Complaints to the BAR association for “Abuse of Process”
Trump was the plaintiff.
They still made deliberate false statements to the court and should have been Severely Sanctioned and Jailed for CONTEMPT!!!
The commie left stole the election in 2020, they know it, EVERYONE KNOWS IT..but in their minds it was totally justified and they will try again this november..just watch, they will come out with another variant which will require everyone to mail in their votes from home
I’m surprised the judge ruled for Trump. The city must not have put enough in their bribe.
The judge probably uses the golf course on a regular basis and KNOWS the city will screw it up!!!
IIRC This golf course is another example where Trump took a derelict piece of property and developed into something beautiful and useful for the citizens in the area. It is a public golf course. DeBlasio and the Democrats are so evil. No surprise that the AP did not mention anything about Trump’s development of the land for the people in their article.
