Trump Plaza Associates, the company that runs the Trump Taj Mahal, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware on Tuesday.
There was no immediate indication as to when, or if, the casino will close. Another casino owned by the company, the Trump Plaza, is expected to shut down after Sept. 16, costing 1,046 employees their jobs.
Donald Trump himself sued a unit of Trump Plaza Associates in early August, claiming that its casinos were no longer good enough to bear his name.
Donald Trump actually built the casinos and once owned them. But he said his only current relationship was the licensing of his name. He said that they have since fallen into disrepair.
