Presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s “very good insurance policy” came in handy for him after Hurricane Wilma in 2005.
According to a new report in the Associated Press, there’s little evidence that his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach suffered extensive damage that would have warranted the $17 million insurance payment he received after the storm hit.
Trump has even said in the past that he pocketed some of the insurance money, transferring cash into his personal accounts. But the damage the real estate tycoon describes doesn’t match up with other descriptions of Mar-a-Lago’s state following the hurricane, including that of Trump’s longtime former butler, Anthony Senecal. Senecal told the news service that the storm flattened trees and swept away some roof tiles.
