One such condition was that club members, including Trump, could spend up to seven consecutive days and no more than three weeks per year on site, CNN reports.
Blouin told the Miami Herald last month that the city was unaware of Trump’s intention to permanently reside at his Palm Beach club, but that it would “get things right” if necessary.
A Trump organization spokesman previously told the Herald, “There is no document or agreement prohibiting President Trump from using Mar-a-Lago as his residence.”
