Donald Trump testified that he transformed a Florida golf club as the trial in a $6 million federal lawsuit brought by disaffected members opened.
The Palm Beach Post reported that in a videotaped deposition played Monday, the Republican presidential nominee said most members of the renamed Trump National Golf Club are happy with the changes made since he bought it for $5 million from Ritz-Carlton in 2012.
The deposition was recorded in April 2015.
But some members wanted to resign and Trump wouldn't return their $35,000 to $210,000 initiation fees as Ritz-Carlton had promised until new members joined.
Meanwhile, they were barred from the club but still charged $6,000 annual dues and $1,800 for food and drink.
The judge-only trial is expected to conclude Wednesday.
