It was a Bloomberg article. You must have been distracted by the videos.

Hopefully. Cyrus Vance doesn’t play around. I’m sure Trump is not taking it lightly. There is millions at steak.

That's what makes it so unusual and so egregious.
Maybe someone (Trump) was trying to cheat on his taxes to get a bigger write off? Not proven yet but I'm guessing it will be.
How much did he deduct for the land donation? (warning, this is a trick question.)

At least we've put to bed any of the claims that the re-naming wasn't being pushed for political reasons and was specifically denied by the gov. citing that exact reason provided by a Cuomo staffer.

I have not seen the tax return and do not know the status of the that financial document. I am guessing(educated) it is more (much more) than it is worth. I am sure it will be revealed to the public at trial. My guess is based on nytimes and time inc financial reporting.
Of course I could be wrong. I look forward to full transparency.

By the way -- the campaign to change the name started in 2015.
After he announced he was running for president?

Trump can have it back if he wants to keep his name on it. Trump can maintain the land and pay property taxes on it as well.

I am sure trump got quite a tax deduction for whatever that land was.

Well good for him. I would never hang out in it. Good place for all the folks who don't want to wear a mask to hang out with each other.
