Apparently, we can now add insurance fraud to Trump's litany of misdeeds. Mar-a-lago apparently got $17M in insurance money for hurricane damage in 2005. The problem is that it never got anything close to that level of damage (if any).
The headline says Trump got the money “for damage few remember.” But that pretty seriously understates the scope of the AP’s investigation. They found contemporary photographs showing no damage, actual bills and permits for very minor clean up that did happen, the failure to get permits or produce any paper trail for any substantial damage repair. Basically, there’s zero evidence of substantial damage. And you’ve got to get building permits to do major repairs if there is damage.
I can't wait for Congressional Republicans to explain why this is OK, and why holding Trump accountable for years of breaking the law is some sort of witch hunt.
