“Our city attorney is reviewing the agreement and the laws surrounding it,” Palm Beach Town manager Kirk Blouin told The Hill.
Trump moved to his Florida club on the morning of Jan. 20 after leaving office, before President Biden was sworn in.
The former president’s decision to make Mar-a-Lago his permanent residence could be a violation of the rules set out in a previous agreement with the city when he decided to turn the private residence into a club in 1993.
Among those conditions was that club members, including Trump, could only spend a maximum of seven consecutive days and no more than three weeks a year at the facility, CNN reports.
Blouin told the Miami Herald last month that the city was unaware of Trump’s intention to reside permanently at his Palm Beach club, but that he would “handle the matter properly” if necessary.
A Trump Organization spokesman previously told the Herald that “there is no document or agreement that prohibits President Trump from using Mar-a-Lago as a residence.”
It’s unclear when the review is expected to end, but Trump’s residency at the club could be a topic of discussion at an upcoming City Council meeting on Feb. 9, CNN reports.
