Seminole Tribe won't comment on Trump lawsuit


The Seminole Tribe of Florida isn't commenting on a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump that seeks a share of revenues from the tribe's successful casinos.

The tribe is not named as a defendant in the case. But the tribe's developers, including a former Trump confidant, are accused of stealing the casino deal away from Trump.

Richard Fields, the former confidant, worked with The Cordish Company on a $410 million deal to finance two Hard Rock casinos with tax-exempt bonds. The developers could receive up to $1.3 billion over 10 years in casino profits for the arrangement.
