Families of 9/11 victims asking NYC mayor to rescind invitation to Saudi-funded golf tournament reportedly to be held at Trump golf course
(CNN)Families of 9/11 victims are asking New York City Mayor Eric Adams to rescind an invitation extended to a Saudi-funded golf tournament scheduled to reportedly take place at a Donald Trump-owned golf course in New York in October.
The Aramco Team Series women's golf tournament in question is scheduled to take place in New York October 13-15, according to the tournament's official website. The website does not indicate where in New York the tournament will take place, but The Washington Post and The New York Times, citing city officials, have reported it will be held at Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the Bronx.
"9/11 Justice is calling for New York City Mayor Adams, to stay away from Ground Zero and any and all other 9/11 memorials and events unless his office rescinds its approval of the Saudi funded Aramco Golf Series coming to New York City in October at the Trump Links (Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point) course," 9/11 families advocate Brett Eagleson said in a statement on Friday.
CNN has reached out to the Trump Organization and the Aramco Team Series for comment.

Let MF45 get his payola from Mr Bonesaw somewhere else. Having that in New York is such an insult.
