During the 2016 campaign, Carl and his wife, Gail, gave committees supporting Trump $250,000, according to public filings. Icahn, who Forbes estimates is worth $14.6 billion, has previously supported President Trump. An organization affiliated with Icahn is said to be making a $175,000 donation to the Boys and Girls Club. Mayor Small stressed several times during his press conference that Icahn and his company has nothing to do with the new viewing party auction, which will start taking bids on February 3. “From the beginning we thought the auction and any other related spectacle presented a safety risk, and we were always clear that we would not participate in any way.” “We are 100% focused on safety and we have been clear from the get-go that we don’t want any distractions,” a spokesperson for Icahn Enterprises told Forbes. Bodnar’s had solicited a high bid of $175,000. But on Monday, the company cancelled the auction after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from one of Icahn’s companies. The implosion of President Trump’s former casino has caught the attention of people across the world and has become a symbol of the chaotic last few weeks of his presidency, characterized by lies of a stolen election, a second impeachment and a riot at the Capitol.īack in December, Bodnar’s Auction was taking bids for the right to press the detonator button to blow up the shuttered casino. Politics may have also gotten in the way.
