Trump claims he was cheated out of tribal deal

Casino mogul Donald Trump claims he has been cheated out of yet another tribal casino deal.

Trump is already suing the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut and the tribe's backers. He says he was promised a casino when the tribe won federal recognition.

He has now filed a lawsuit against a former business associated who helped the Seminole Tribe of Florida open two casino resorts. He says he should reap the benefits of deals worth hundreds of millions.

Former Seminole Chairman Jim Billie said Trump was in on the deal "right up to the end." "'I believe Donald Trump got a raw deal,'' the famed leader told The Miami Herald.
