Donald Trump, Barron Trump and Melania Trump attends Trump Invitational Grand Prix Mar-a-Lago Club at The Mar-a-Largo Club on January 4, 2015 in Palm Beach, Florida. (Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images)PALM BEACH, Fla. — Donald Trump says he received a $17 million insurance payment in 2005 for hurricane damage to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach. But The Associated Press has found little evidence of such large-scale damage.
Two years after a series of storms, the real estate tycoon said he didn’t know how much had been spent on repairs, but acknowledged he pocketed some of the money. He transferred funds into his personal accounts, saying that under the terms of his policy “you didn’t have to reinvest it.”

Mayor Don Guardian unveiled the city’s long-awaited fiscal turnaround plan Monday evening, just days before New Jersey lawmakers and Republican Gov. Chris Christie’s administration are to consider whether the struggling seaside gambling resort can no longer be trusted to manage its own affairs.
The city will use $110 million from the sale of the historic Bader Field former airport site and $105 million in bonds it will issue to pay off much of its massive debt, part of which was caused by successful tax appeals from casinos whose property has lost tens of millions of dollars as the city’s gambling market continues to shrink.
The plan envisions a $103 million settlement with the Borgata, which is owed more than $150 million in tax refunds, but the city and casino have not yet agreed on a deal…
