Adam Shiff in deep sheet

Trump always squawks the loudest about things he is himself guilty of, and this is no exception. Mar-a-Lago was not zoned for being a primary residence, and here as everywhere, Trump simply ignored any law he didn't like.

I don't know if Sen. Schiff is guilty or not, and if he is, I'm all for him facing the consequences. But Trump has no business standing in judgment of anyone on this.

False.

In September 2019, Mar-a-Lago became the primary residence for Donald and Melania Trump, who previously held primary residence in New York City.[139][140] The legality of this was disputed because, in 1993, Trump signed a "use agreement" with the town of Palm Beach, Florida, that changed Mar-a-Lago's designation from a single-family residence to a private club and specified that guests, including Trump, could not stay there more than three non-consecutive weeks per year.[141][142]

In December 2020, neighbors of Mar-a-Lago delivered a demand letter to the town of Palm Beach, stating that the town should notify Trump that he cannot use the estate as his residence.[141][143] In 2021, Palm Beach's attorney concluded that Palm Beach's zoning code allowed employees to reside at private clubs. He also stated that paperwork submitted by Trump's attorney confirmed that Trump was an employee whose duties include "overseeing the property, evaluating the performance of employees, suggesting improvements to the club's operations, reviewing the club's financials, attending events, greeting guests and recommending candidates for membership"
