Former United States President Donald Trump is facing an expensive bit of legal trouble stemming from his golf courses as he faces a $464 judgment for fraud after he was found to have fraudulently inflated the value of several of his courses in order to obtain more favorable loan and insurance rates. And now, it sounds like one of his golf courses just paid out a hefty settlement following a scandal.
Alice Bianco, a former employee of Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, brought a lawsuit against the golf course claiming that she was silenced and coerced into signing a hush-money deal after she was sexually harassed. And now, the golf course is paying out a settlement.
“EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, paid $82,500 last week to settle a lawsuit alleging that it had silenced a sexually harassed waitress by tricking her into an unfair hush money deal, according to the ex-employee’s lawyer,” The Daily Beast said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Obviously, this is a pretty bad look for Trump, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.
I wish every waking moment of his life to be filled with nothing but stress and misery. 👍 https://t.co/0fbnJf49mT

$82,500 is a hefty sum for the golf course to pay, but it’s nothing compared to the $464 million Trump now owes as a result of his fraud.
