Mar-a-Lago, a sprawling complex in Florida, has been described as a “the winter White House” during the Trump presidency, a place from which the country’s leader would variously entertain heads of state and order US missile attacks.
The private club – situated on an eight-hectare estate that is now the focus of an FBI search warrant – attracted annual membership fees of $200,000 and became symbolic of Donald Trump’s time in office, blurring the ethical lines between his own business empire and his presidential duties.
