The president is promoting his Florida property, which a guest claimed was infested with “voracious bed bugs,” for next year’s G-7 summit of world leaders.
President
Donald Trump vehemently denied on Tuesday that
bedbugs are crawling through his Doral golf resort in Florida, where he envisions holding next year’s
G-7 summit of world leaders.
Though the hotel settled a guest’s lawsuit alleging a bedbug infestation in 2017, Trump blamed suggestions of the pests on a left-wing smear.
Eric Linder, a Doral guest from New Jersey, sued the resort in 2016, alleging “his back, face and arms were devoured by voracious bed bugs” during his stay, according to the
Miami Herald. The paper published a photo showing the back of Linder’s neck covered in small red welts when it reported the settlement in 2017. Details were kept confidential.
The resort eventually reached a confidential settlement with Linder.
