Last year, New York State Attorney General Letitia James filed a civil lawsuit against former President Trump that involved the Westchester County golf course.
Trump is accused the inflating the property value by using an unsold membership scheme.
"The valuation for 2011 assumed new members would pay an initiation fee of nearly $200,000 for each of the 67 unsold memberships, even though many new members in that year paid no initiation fee at all and no new member in the prior year paid an initiation fee of more than $50,000. Trump also utilized the fixed-asset scheme on this property, ignoring an appraisal that showed the true value of the property to be much lower," the lawsuit states.
