Goldberg the Gold Digger

"Woman, 87, sues Trump

An 87-year-old woman who alleges Donald Trump cheated her in a bait-and-switch scheme has told jurors she had qualms about suing the developer-turned-TV star given his power. But during testimony Monday, when asked why she took Trump to court, Jacqueline Goldberg replied, ‘‘Somebody had to stand up to him.’’ Goldberg says ‘‘The Apprentice’’ star enticed her into buying two condos at Chicago’s Trump International Hotel & Tower with an offer to share profits of the entire building. But she told jurors at the civil trial in Chicago that she felt ‘‘conned’’ when Trump later withdrew the profit-sharing plan. Testifying last week, Trump denied the allegations, telling reporters that Goldberg was trying to rip him off."
