Former President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has denied acquiring ownership of Mar-a-Lago from his father and Melania in the weeks leading up to his father’s arrest in Fulton County, Georgia. Trump Jr. exclusively informed Breitbart News that reports claiming he was gifted ownership of the iconic property are entirely false.
Trump Jr. expressed his surprise and frustration at waking up to numerous media reports making this claim. He asserted that the rumors are baseless and categorically dismissed them as “total and complete fake news.” He further criticized some media outlets for running such stories without proper verification and suggested that their lack of accountability is disappointing.
The false claims began circulating online when some media outlets wrongly reported that Zillow listings indicated the property had been sold. Even publications like the Daily Express and Newsweek propagated these inaccuracies. However, Trump Jr. clarified that there is no truth to these reports.
It appears that the misinformation also reached Eric Trump, another of Donald Trump’s sons, who reportedly also denied that his father transferred ownership of Mar-a-Lago.
Sources familiar with the matter have revealed that legal representatives from the Trump Organization are looking into the situation to address the false claims and clear up any confusion.
“I woke up this morning to numerous media reports claiming that my dad transferred ownership of Mar-A-Lago to me, and while anyone would love to be gifted one of the most beautiful properties in the entire world, it is nothing more than total and complete fake news,” Trump Jr. told Breitbart News exclusively on Friday. “A lot of media outlets should be embarrassed with themselves for running such a phony story, but we all know that most of them won’t even retract their reports because they have no shame. SAD!”
This incident underscores the prevalence of misinformation in today’s media landscape and the importance of verifying sources before disseminating news. The Trump family’s response emphasizes their commitment to ensuring accurate reporting and their readiness to take action when faced with false information.
