Trump firm 'refusing to pay' legal bill for windfarm case: Scottish government says US president’s company has not accepted bill of tens of thousands of pounds

Donald Trump’s family firm is refusing to accept a legal bill worth tens of thousands of pounds after he lost a lengthy court battle against a windfarm near his Aberdeenshire golf course, according to the Scottish government.

 

A Scottish court ruled in February this year the Trump Organization had to pay the Scottish government’s legal costs after his attempt to block an 11-turbine windfarm in Aberdeen Bay ended with defeat in the UK supreme court in 2015.

 

The Scottish government has said Trump’s firm has refused to accept the sum it had put forward or reach an agreement on costs, so the case is now in the hands of a court-appointed adjudicator.

The Trump campaign has also been refusing to pay bills related to his rallies all around the country, currently owing something like a million dollars.

 

Minneapolis wants to charge Trump $530k in advance, before allowing a rally scheduled for Oct 10.  That number seems pretty high, but the other article I linked said El PAso is asking for $470k. I don't know if it'll work, but it seems worth a shot.
