Donald Trump likes to put his name on everything — except his taxpayer-funded, post-presidential office here on North Flagler Drive.
Trump’s website doesn’t list the address, which is about a 10-minute drive from his Mar-a-Lago club. The nameplate on the hallway wall is blank. There is no seal, official or unofficial, on the frosted-glass door. And the name Trump — a brand the former president estimates to be worth billions of dollars — is nowhere to be found.
It’s so hush-hush that his spokesman, Steven Cheung, claimed no knowledge of its existence.
“I’ve never heard of a North Flagler office,” Cheung said, when NBC News asked about the suite Wednesday.
It has apparently housed classified material and, according to a person familiar with Trump’s operation, been searched by a private firm at the direction of Trump’s lawyers. Long after that inspection, bankers' boxes were still piled against the wall and in the middle of the main room, according to two sources familiar with the office.
“Boxes everywhere,” one of the sources said. “The state of that office is generally cluttered. If there weren’t boxes and bins, I’d think that something happened.”
There's no indication that Trump has used the office himself. It is not clear what is currently in the boxes, and it is not clear whether he knows what is in them.
It's time to search all of his properties. Every last one. Who knows where he's hiding more documents? We all know he will lie at the drop of a hat if it's of personal benefit to himself, and we know ge tried to keep some documents for himself even after they were subpoenaed.
We must be sure this criminal isn't holding information that could be used to harm the US.
Trump’s post-presidential office is hiding in plain sight
For a man who likes his name in lights, his government-funded post-presidential office is as nondescript as they come.
