Miami Dade revotes Trump library land transfer
Miami Dade College’s board on Dec. 2 re‑voted to transfer a nearly 3‑acre, downtown Miami parcel for Donald Trump’s future presidential library amid a Sunshine Law lawsuit that prompted a judge to temporarily block formal transfer. The September vote faces claims of inadequate notice; a trial is set for August, and a week after that initial vote Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet moved to transfer and deed the land to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation, whose trustees include Eric Trump, Michael Boulos, and attorney James Kiley.
