Trump ‘threatened to sue’ over refusal to back golf resort

The American billionaire tycoon Donald Trump threatened to sue Aberdeenshire Council for failing to back his luxury golf resort, the Sunday Herald can reveal.

Private correspondence released under freedom of information legislation shows that Trump’s lawyers accused the council of a “flawed decision-making process” after it rejected the controversial development at the Menie Estate near Balmedie in 2007.
