ABC News has published reports that Trump is behind new property sales in Cap Cana, in southern Punta Cana. ABC recalls that when the Trump Organization left the Dominican Republic after the economy crashed ten years ago, their plans for dozens of luxury estates in a Trump-branded development appeared to leave with them. “Buyers who staked millions on lots for their dream homes were left empty handed. The Trump team sued the developers, alleging fraud. And the billboards bearing the Trump name came down,” says ABC News.

Reports are published in ABC News and also in Newsweek, citing a recent investigation by the organization Global Witness.
